The training modules were brought to Amazonian communities on WiRED\u2019s most recent field trip, with its partner Project Amazonas. &#8220;Language is central to all of our educational efforts. Health education material is useless to people who cannot understand the language in which it is written. TWB greatly extends the reach of our programs and enables us to fully serve these remote areas,\u201d explains Allison Kozicharow, a WiRED Board member. The results that the organization has achieved though its two-year collaboration with TWB volunteers are significant: with more than 250,000 donated words, TWB volunteers have delivered professional translations of training modules into Spanish, Portuguese and French.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_335\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-335\" style=\"width: 232px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"335\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/translatorswithoutborders.org\/blog\/ainhoa20lecuona-medico20de20familia_533_399_90-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/translatorswithoutborders.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Ainhoa20Lecuona-medico20de20familia_533_399_90.jpg?fit=533%2C399&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"533,399\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Ainhoa20Lecuona-medico20de20familia_533_399_90\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/translatorswithoutborders.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Ainhoa20Lecuona-medico20de20familia_533_399_90.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/translatorswithoutborders.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Ainhoa20Lecuona-medico20de20familia_533_399_90.jpg?fit=533%2C399&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-335\" alt=\"A volunteer in an Amazonian classroom\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/translatorswithoutborders.org\/twbnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/P1080124-232x174.jpg?resize=232%2C174\" width=\"232\" height=\"174\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-335\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A volunteer in an Amazonian classroom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">WiRED\u2019s Learning Center currently carries more than 300 interactive modules, serving grassroots audiences and medical professionals in under-resourced countries. TWB has worked with WiRED to translate 70 health and medical education modules. These included community- and individual-level Ebola and infectious disease training, professional-level medical training in new and improved procedures, and non-communicable disease training. While community workers and individuals can learn about basic health issues, prevention and treatments, medical professionals can gain knowledge on the most recent techniques such as how to treat severely malnourished infants, polio, or interpret echocardiograms. Many modules are also appropriate for school children to learn about basic biology and health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Like TWB, WiRED is a volunteer-driven organization with limited resources to cover translation costs. \u201cTo translate our materials, we used to put the word out, usually to universities, where we often relied on translators without special skills in medical translations.\u201d By cooperating with TWB, WiRED resources can be focused on creating professionally written, peer-reviewed health and medical education modules and fully serving remote areas. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Find out more about the WiRED Learning Center <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wiredhealthresources.net\/\">here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Whether they are supporting a floating health training facility in the Amazon or running training sessions with solar-powered hardware stored in a single backpack, the volunteers at WiRED are dedicated to delivering health and medical education to remote communities in Africa, Latin America, Asia and elsewhere.
