At Translators without Borders (TWB), we are lucky to have extraordinary team members who are recognized worldwide. We are always grateful to have uniquely skilled members of the international community choose to be part of <\/span>our cause<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>Today, we are proud to share the story of C\u00e9drick Irakoze, Crisis Response and Community and Recruitment Intern for TWB. He was recently awarded a place to be part of the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) network<\/a>. <\/span>The YALI network invests in the next generation of African leaders, providing invaluable opportunities to connect and learn from experts. Learn more about the YALI network here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

C\u00e9drick is a young Burundian language professional. He holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in TESOL  (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from the University of Burundi, and has years of experience as a professional translator. He believes that language can improve or even save lives in this global world. And interaction in the right language can be vital for everyone, no matter people\u2019s language, culture, or the color of their skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTWB is my professional home\u201d \u2013 C\u00e9drick<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In 2018, C\u00e9drick first featured in our <\/span>blog<\/span><\/a> as a volunteer translator from English and French into Rundi. This was his introduction to the world of language in humanitarian work: \u201cWhen I joined TWB as an intern, I joined a community of like-minded individuals serving the global community. Now I call TWB my professional home.\u201d Day-to-day, C\u00e9drick engages and collaborates with our <\/span>translator community<\/span><\/a> to help create a world with no language barriers. <\/span><\/p>\n

But in late 2019, he did something different. He successfully applied for the Young African Leaders Initiative program.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI)<\/b><\/h1>\n

In 2016, C\u00e9drick joined the <\/span>Young African Leaders Initiative network<\/span> with over 25,000 other young and talented individuals. In 2019, he met with 108 successful candidates from over 7000 applicants to attend a one-month leadership training course.<\/span><\/p>\n

Energetic public officials, business owners, and local and international nonprofit leaders from all over Africa came together in Nairobi, Kenya. On hearing their stories, C\u00e9drick reflected, \u201cThe way they are each committed to making their communities better inspired me.\u201d The Translators without Borders team is delighted to have witnessed a team member take on such an exciting, formative challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThank you very much. TWB showed me so much love and support before and during the program!\u201d \u2013 C\u00e9drick<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s all about communication<\/b><\/h2>\n

The course was about inspiring and equipping one another to become better leaders. <\/span>Participants developed their communication skills and built solutions-oriented networks. These factors are central to the changes these young leaders want to see in society.<\/span> Each member of the diverse group – native speakers of over fifty languages – played a vital part.<\/span><\/p>\n

This richness and diversity are reflected in TWB\u2019s own community of translators and supporters, and in our way of working. We too rely on the power of teamwork to make change \u2014 to improve communications and access to information worldwide. C\u00e9drick\u2019s big takeaway is that when we come together we can innovate, we can flourish and we can make each other feel valued. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDiversity is richness in professional life\u201d \u2013 C\u00e9drick <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With the skills he\u2019s learned through this course, C\u00e9drick hopes to make a positive impact in his professional and social circles. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to contribute more and better to our common mission: to create a world that knows no language barriers.<\/strong>\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
