CDRC, with the generous assistance of its partners, was able to distribute COMMODITY VOUCHERS or CASH ASSISTANCE to beneficiaries in disaster affected areas. Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) was done through interviews with beneficiaries. The videotaped interviews were done in the local language so it has to be translated to English for subtitles to be incorporated in the video. These documentaries will be sent to our local and international donors and partners. These will also be posted in our website/facebook account.

What can I do?

You will translate the interviews done with CDRC’s beneficiaries. The Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) interview is one way of documenting the process of distributing the assistance and the impact of the assistance to those severely affected by disasters. Through these documentaries our donors, partners and those who will view it will have a deeper knowledge and understanding of how our assistance was delivered and how it has impacted the lives of those who received it. 

Translator must be fluent in any of the following:

• English
• Filipino
• Bisaya
• Waray
• Ilocano

These documentaries also help in raising awareness on the real situation of vulnerable sectors in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas in country. We need these documentaries to serve as testimonies of our effort to reach the most affected and least served during disasters.

How can you be an on-Iine translator? 

We will send you an audio copy of the interview. You will transcribe the interview, translate it and send us the written translation 

What do I need?

Desktop or laptop where you can encode your translation, internet connection so you can have quick access to translation references

An open mind and lots of enthusiasm will help you keep going!

What do I get for being a volunteer translator?

As a CDRC volunteer, you will be part of a team that prepares information, education campaign materials. You will be helping raise awareness on disaster situation, response and impact of assistance to beneficiaries. This is a big contribution to our efforts in building the capacities of vulnerable communities, increasing the disaster preparedness of vulnerable sectors and thus strengthening disaster resilient communities. You will be able to help non-vulnerable sectors channel their resources and contribute in this endeavor. Aside from being able to help vulnerable sectors even before disasters happen, as CDRC volunteer will be able to attend a Disaster Management Orientation and earthquake preparedness orientation, all for free. You can learn more and be prepared for disasters, for free!
