Call for volunteer interpreters for atomic bomb survivors

Uncategorized Comments Off on Call for volunteer interpreters for atomic bomb survivors

My friend Yumi needs some volunteer interpreters for candle vigil events to be held this weekend for a group of visiting atomic bomb survivors (hibakusha).  They have been brought here to share their experiences with NYC high school students.  She said it would be less interpreting and more like assisting, and ideally she hopes to have one volunteer per hibakusha at the following events:

■ Sat. May 1 at Union Square / Candle Vigil (Sunset ~ 10pm)
Place: Union Square
Call time: 7:30 pm
Need: 12 people
■ Sunday May 2 at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza –> tour van ride
Place:  Dag Hammarskjold Plaza; 47th Street between 1st and 2nd Ave
Time: 6:00 pm – 11:00 pm (could be early but definitely we need early on)
Need: 5 people
