Haitians Need Our Help Now

As the translation service and legal translation community is trying to grapple with the devastation that has occurred as a result of the earthquake in Haiti, many are wondering, how, as a translation company, as a translator, as a legal translation service, what can my company do to help those in Haiti who are suffering?

As Morningside is committed to helping the worldwide community, and as a translation company who also staffs many interpreters and works on live translations and interpretations for its clients, we have become aware of the need for medical interpreters in Haiti.  Currently, there is a need for Haitian interpreters and for Cantonese, Mandarin, French, and Portuguese interpreters, to serve the needs of the relief service providers.  Translating and interpreting for a victim of the earthquake is a critical role we can play to help our global community.

We want to share important information with you as a translation service that specializes in interpretations.  We want to offer up information that is useful for those looking to help the Haitians who have been hurt immensely by the devastating earthquake.
