Interpreters and Translators
Ali Guche
Interpreter, Ethiopia, 2008
Ali Guche, 25, is a student and guide in Yabello Town in the Borena Zone of southern Ethiopia and in the southern Omo Valley. When he finishes his education, he would like to learn to speak Kiswahili and Spanish, and to work as a guide for East Africa. First, he would like to continue learning English, which he studies by listening to the New Dynamic English Voice of America Special English Program. If you are ever traveling in southern Ethiopia, Ali is a great man to contact for help! Reach him at ali.guche{at}yahoo{dot}com. Our reporting from southern Ethiopia would not have been possible without Ali's wonderful interpretation. Thanks Ali!
Marazaev "Max" Maksat
Interpreter, Kyrgyzstan, 2006
Max recently graduated from the Foreign Language Faculty in Osh, Kyrgyzstan. He speaks Kyrgyz, Russian, Uzbek, English, German and Turkish. He loves foreign languages and hopes to become a diplomat. Max is from a small village two hours outside of Osh and plans to get married next year. The CLP's Osh-based reporting for The Tulip Revolution: One Year Later would not have been possible without Max's help.
Ali Jafri
Interpreter, Pakistan, 2006
Ali graduated with a degree in history from Karachi University. He has travelled all over the world and is thinking of becoming a journalist. He currently works in a call center, and offered his invaluable help in our reporting for Twenty-First Century Slavery. If you are in need of an interpreter in Lahore, Ali is a great man to contact!
Seikh Jabir
Interpreter, India, 2006
Jabir, age 22, is from the state of Orissa in southern India. He runs his own Cyber Café and travel agency in the city of Puri, and hopes to become a full time guide and interpreter in the future. Jabir speaks seven languages including English, Japanese, Arabic, Oriya and Hindi. He is a great person to contact if you will be travelling to Orissa. The CLP's reporting from Chhannijanga would not have been possible without Jabir's help.
Kang Sinin
Interpreter and Translator, Cambodia, 2006
Born in Siem Reap City, Sinin, 22, was orphaned by the age of ten when both of his parents died of disease. Having spent most of his life on the street he is now a self-made entrepreneur with a CD/DVD burning business and is studying economics at university. Our award-winning feature, Dismantling a Dangerous Past would not have been possible without his diligent translation and knowledge of Cambodian culture and history.
