Today, more than 3,200 professional translators support the organization, offering their skills pro bono, to spread knowledge worldwide.\u00a0In early February, TWB\u00a0reached a major milestone of 30 million words translated for over 500 humanitarian organizations using its web-based\u00a0<em>Translators without Borders Workspace<\/em> (check out the map below showing some of the work that kept us busy in 2015). To build on this work and to reach new heights, TWB now has two more staff members to make this happen.<\/p>\n<p>New Executive Director Aimee Ansari said, \u201cI\u2019m very excited to be leading such an innovative organization with so much potential.\u00a0 There is an ever present need to provide lifesaving information to people in languages they can understand. But seemingly less urgent needs sometimes go unnoticed, such as the need for mothers to understand baby formula instructions or a HIV patient\u2019s need to understand their doctors instructions on how to take their medicine correctly. Translators without Borders will continue to respond to both emergency and longer term needs associated with language and communication barriers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur volunteer base is the foundation of the organization; we couldn\u2019t provide the services we do, without them.\u00a0 I look forward to leveraging their valuable work to help the organization grow and to have even greater impact.\u00a0 Our workspace, donated by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.proz.com\/\">ProZ.com<\/a>, is one example of how I hope TWB can use technology to help people in crises to live with dignity,\u201d said Amy Rose Mc Govern, new Director of External Affairs.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Translators without Borders welcomes our new staff<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Aimee Ansari, Executive Director <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Aimee brings 20 years of experience in leadership positions in large humanitarian and development organizations.\u00a0 She has worked in several humanitarian crises from the Tajik civil war to the earthquake in Haiti, the conflicts in the Balkans to the Syrian refugee crisis and the conflict in South Sudan.\u00a0 Her passion is listening to people and helping them create a future for themselves that allows them to thrive.\u00a0 She believes in developing and implementing strategies that apply creative approaches to seemingly intractable problems.\u00a0 Aimee speaks English and French and is conversant in Russian and Arabic.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Amy Rose Mc Govern, Director of External Affairs<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Amy Rose has a background in international relations and joins Translators without Borders with over ten years experience in program management and communications in the international development cooperation sector.
