My team and I also develop a regional program for Himalayan women which promotes gender equality, strengthening the role of women in the region\u2019s development. Before my current position, I spent a year and a half in the Tibetan regions of China as Norlha\u2019s Program Director for China. My degrees are in project management and Chinese, so being able to contribute to the improvement of living conditions in the Himalayas with <\/em>Norlha<em> is a great pleasure!<\/em>\u201d<!-- more --><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Translators without Borders\u2019 work for Norlha, the NGO has been able to reduce their operating expenses, freeing up funds that may then go directly to Norlha projects. As Thommen explains, \u201c<em>Translators without Borders has helped us improve the quality of our communications and our financing efforts, thanks to well-written texts with correct terminology. Recently, Translators without Borders helped us translate a presentation of one of our projects in Nepal, and with that, we were able to gain initial financing for it! TWB also helped us translate our 2012 annual report from French into English, an excellent communication tool that we will be able to use to introduce <\/em>Norlha<em> to even more people<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Norlha benefits from local personnel in the Himalayas for translation into regional dialects. \u201c<em>We mainly [request Translators without Borders to] translate from French into English, German, and Spanish, and from English into French. In the regions where we work, there are dozens of local dialects. With our personnel on the ground, we are able to translate documents for improving knowledge on hygiene, environmental protection, and so forth.<\/em>\u201d These communication tools are essential towards meeting Norlha\u2019s goals of improved healthcare, nutrition, education, and the environmental conditions for indigenous populations.<\/p>\n<pre><strong>By Anna Stevenson,\u00a0<\/strong><strong><strong>Owner\/Editor at Editions Amnis<\/strong><\/strong><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Norlha was founded in 2005, in Switzerland, and today has delegations in several European countries.
