Language skills needed

The Barretstown Camp for seriously ill children is looking for volunteer interpreters to help out in its summer 2006 programme.

With some 1,500 children and their families from 21 European countries coming this year, the operation requires two or three interpreters fluent in English and one of the following languages:

Czech, Slovack, Hungarian, Russian, Georgian, Romanian, Polish, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Cypriot, Greek, Italian, Spanish, German, and Bosnian.

For dates on which the various languages help is required, contact Hilary Makin, Communications Manager at Barretstown, 045 864151.
