Editors. writers, translators, voice over talent - literacy nonprofit is looking (Cape Cod / Islands)

2008-06-26T02:52:37-04:00

Our program is built on a database of 100,000 words, and constantly growing. Our goal is to be able to provide coaching on the words that are important to the student at any particular moment, so learning is targeted and relevant.

We are currently translating our introductory slides (see homepage) to make them more accessible for English language learners.
We will give credit on the loading screens to translators and voice over artists, if desired, and this screen appears repeatedly throughout the slide show.
Also, translations are still needed(expect 5-10 hours of work) for Korean, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Farsi/Persian, Arabic, Greek, Italian, Hindi, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Indonesian, Norwegian, etc.
Voice over artists for all of these languages, plus Spanish and French (translations are ready) are also welcome.
You don't have to be certified etc., just willing to put in a good, honest effort to make this easy to understand for people of other tongues.

We are always looking for writers and editors who like to "play with words" and who would like to contribute to this innovative project. Since the English language is continuously evolving we are constantly updating and improving our database to give people the best possible experience.

A Few Hours Per Week (New Seabury. Cape Cod)

2008-06-23T13:44:23-04:00

We are looking for volunteers to assist with events, meetings, conferences and seminars. Assistance would be in the form of setup, meet and greet and breakdown after people have left. A brief synopsis of the facility is below...

This idyllic environment in New Seabury, Cape Cod is the perfect setting to hold your next outing, conference, seminar or event. The Brain Center is nestled amongst the Cape Cod trees and ocean swept air of New Seabury's quiet Promontory Point.

Something absolutely extraordinary happens here. People relax and settle into the satisfying tranquil ambiance of the peaceful surroundings.

There are seven fantastic meeting rooms of various sizes and dimensions available in a wide variety of configurations to accommodate large or small groups. Rooms are designed with soundproof walls and doors, specialty lighting and audio/visual capabilities. In addition, each of the three floors has an abundance of breakout areas for before and after socializing.

There is a unique blend of intimacy and subtle elegance that permeates throughout. High ceilings, soft tones, large windows and skylights permit the outdoors to enter into every room, contributing to the sense of spaciousness found throughout the complex. Original artwork in the form of paintings, sculptures and carvings adorn each area of the building. There is a large exterior deck that allows an appealing alternative to indoor meetings, receptions, luncheons and dinners.

This is not your average meeting place. To offer assistance please call
508-477-5300 and ask for Eleanor. Our web site link can be found at www.braincenterworldwide.org

Help with Sick Cat (Provincetown)

2008-05-28T11:15:36-04:00

I am desperately seeking someone capable of giving my cat subcutaneous fluids once or twice a week (or both) on weekdays. He needs these to help him survive kidney failure at least for a while. I just can't do it myself. I'm a senior citizen and can't afford bringing him to the vet for this procedure so often. Please help!!

Animal Care Volunteers Needed (Buzzards Bay/Wareham)

2008-05-27T11:13:43-04:00

Though it feels as if the busy season never ends these days with so many homeless pets in need, this is the time of year we become totally overwelmed. So many cats and kittens left homeless and abandoned, we hate to turn them away. With just a little additional help, we won't have to turn them away. We can provide them safety and security until their permanent home is found.

Please won't you spare just a little of your free time with the pets? Very rewarding work, knowing your efforts help save lives.

We are looking for energetic, motivated people to help clean and care for the pets. RELIABILITY is a MUST. Even 4 hours a week would make such a difference.
We also have plenty of other volunteer opportunities available.

**** We are in desperate need of a Fundraising Director. With these tough times we are facing donations are few and far between. To keep our facility open we need a take-charge person who has had some experience in the fundraising area. A self-motivated person is ideal.

Please contact us @ 508-759-2887 or at our email address. www.ahelpingpaw.org
