In February, TWB announced the winners of the 3rd Access to Knowledge Awards<\/em>.\u00a0 The awards recognize individuals or organizations that contributed outstanding work that exemplifies the our mission to translate for humanity.<\/p>\n

The Access to Knowledge Awards<\/em> began in 2012 to honor volunteers, donors, and non-profit partners.\u00a0 The awards are given within each of the organization\u2019s six pillars: Organizational Excellence, Translator Community and Workspace, Training, Nonprofit Partnerships, Financial Sustainability, Awareness and Communications. The Translators without Borders Board of Directors, staff, and advisers nominate candidates and vote for 6 winners. In addition, a number of honorable mentions are also awarded.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout the assistance this past year from all our dedicated supporters, Translators without Borders would not have succeeded in helping as many people and translating as many words as we did\u201d, said Aimee Ansari, Executive Director of Translators without Borders. \u201cWe reached the major milestone of 30 million words translated earlier this year. In 2015, we activated the Words of Relief crisis relief network to respond yet again to an urgent crisis (the European refugee crisis), and we continue to build the capacity and to train translators in our field office in Kenya. \u00a0These are just examples of the work that is being done and we hope to continue to build on our successes. That is only possible with the generous support of our donors, the dedication of our volunteers, and the commitment of our non-profit partners.\u201d<\/p>\n
