Dear Andrea:
I went to the web page but couldn't get in to the project. When you have any material count me in for english to spanish or spanish to english. Meanwhile, I could build some Ad's on a webpage about bullying to call children (or organizations that take care of underpriviliged children) to submit their stories & drawings. But for this I will need to surrender information they will surely ask. Presumably there will be a pre-selection. Length of stories. Scanned image... See more Dear Andrea:

Where, how and to whom do they send them, etc. If you have a tailored Ad, post it or send it to me through my profile and I'd be honoured to put it on the web page. ▲ Collapse

| Greetings from Iraq | Jan 10, 2008 |
Dear Andrea,
From Iraq I salute you and express my willingness to take part in your humanly endeavor. I hope to be of help in this great project.
I am a father of a three-years-old boy. I wish that he can write or draw. But, you know he is still too young. I will make sure to collect stories and drawings from children around.
Please, inform me if you want me to translate something you have from English into Arabic and the other way round.
Yours,

| Stories from children in India | Jan 10, 2008 |
Hi Andrea,
I recently became a member of T4K and have been in touch with Natalia Eklund.
I would like to help out in any way I can. Some of us here will be meeting at a powwow on January 20th and I thought I could start a collective effort amongst Indian translators to collect stories from children for your book project.

As you can imagine, less privileged children in India have a lot of stories to tell! I will, of course, ask them to translate the stories from the Indian languages into English, so that you have the Indian language version as well as the English one.
I have just heard from Natalia again and she referred me to this forum discussion. I will get back to you after discussing this with my Indian colleagues at the powwow. I hope that's OK with you and serves your purpose.
Thanks and regards,

Dear Andrea,
Thanks for your e-mail. Count on me for translations EN - GER, FR - GER!
I might also be able to help collecting stories.
Is there a German version of the document for the authorities? If so, please post it. Around here, there's a orphanage. I could ask there for stories.
I wish you all a happy New Year and - keep the thing going!

First thank to all of you who have responded
1. I am sure we all know children around the corner or a place we visit on a holiday, or an organisation were children would loved to be heard. (Hospital, Orphanage, Streetkids, mistreated children and abused children etc.....
Please contact either the authorities, parents, or representatives of those children and ask for permission to collect stories and drawings and pictures from those children.
Example:
Lets say you are going on a Holiday to Haiti:
than please e-mail me at collection4translators4kids.com and I will send you a presentation in French at this case, which you then can show to any of those authorities. Just to make them understand what it is all about.
We have all presentations translated in any language needed. If you dont need it than thats fine too. I will post a English presentation on my next post, and wait for your questions you might have.
Andrea Di Marco
Hi all,
I would like to really thank you you that have shown enthusiasm and willngness to join the project. I am also one of the volunteers. For a short while we did not proceed so much but now we need to kick again this project.
Andrea is right when she said: "please do not disappear". We are all very busy with work, families and our lives, so I know that no one has really time to through. But I would like to only tell you all that if the iedas are clear and the steps well programmed, one can make it.
Andrea already started to brief about the project, saying what is important to know/have:
1) What is needed for this book (stories, drawings of kids). For this, one has to be willing to look out and find these kids. It can be an orphanage, school, hospital, neighbor, as long as there is some one that can also legally allow us to take a story or a drawing of this kid, with his/her name and photo.
Now, about the photo: Andera, I need an update here, when we were in progress before we were also speaking of a photo of the kid. Do we still need to take that?
2) What documents are needed for each of us to have:
a) a short presentation (in one page) of the project and of what/who we/you are;
b) a form that the parent/carer will sign, to authorise us to publish this work of the kid.
Andrea is right when she says above that we have a vaste archive with presentations and forms in almost all languages, so it is necessary that all of us that make up their mind to participate drops an email to Andrea, letting her know:
i) what language do you need the docs
ii) where are you located and what did you find.
Again many thanks to all,
Kind regards,
Fabiana

Thank you dear Fabiana for helping me out here.
well do be honest with you I would like to make this as easy as possible.
Just because I know from experience that if we use to much paperwork going back and forth people are giving up. So therefore I have thought that if I outline the Terms and Conditions before the material is submitted to me than it will be okay.
It is like in Proz. before you become a member you have to agree to their terms right.

It is like in Proz. before you become a member you have to agree to their terms right.
The terms and conditions are basically; that you didnt run away with those stories without asking the authorities and that you have read and agreed and fully understood the code of conduct at http://www.trasnslators4kids and that T4K and I has the full rights to the material. Only for the purpose of our Book Project. But this we dont need right now.
Answering your questions Fabiana,
Questions Nr. 1
You don’t need to take a photo it is more about the stories and drawing. If the child or children want to have their picture taken than sure. Stories are important.. the length I would say should be no more than 400 words but more than 15 words, on a normal piece of paper is fine.
The childs age should not exceed 16 years of age I would say but than again you have to judge for yourself it depends on the circumstances. No younger than 3 years old, because their writing skills are different from what we can read...but drawings sure.
Yes please do not take the picture of the child anonymously. You have to talk the authorities first if you are allowed.
If you run into children who do not have anybody around than hmm I think than better don’t ask for anything but give them something (-;
The paper stuff I will do one by one. This is the easiest I think.
One more important thing.
Nobody who participates in this project is obligated to spend or donate any money.
We get your time and this is what is important.
Thanks so much..
I am very easy to talk to so please just write me at [email protected] and I will answer your questions.
Thanks all and thanks Fabiana  ▲ Collapse
