Volunteer jobs/ translating courses

Max971

Hi everyone,
I am Max from the Caribbean and I moved here in late August 2015. I am French and Australian. I would like to get a volunteer job and also  to take translating courses.
All ideas are welcome and thank you in advance for replying.

You haven't said what type of voluntary work you would like to do.  I know that you can find a list of voluntary organisations on-line which might be a place to start and there have been some discussions on this forum too.
With regards to translation training - you could ask the British Council if they can suggest somewhere or the Chamber of Commerce.  I know in the UK the Institute of Linguists offer something and they may have an on-line/distance learning option.

Hi Jkev,
Sorry to get back to you that late. Many thanks for your answer. Actually I don't really know which activity to do to keep myself busy. All I want is an organisation where the volunteer work can be flexible. I did contact an association as called here but they never returned any of my messages. I keep on searching and eventually something will come up.
Concerning the translating courses I did looked up on the net and I found a very interesting on-line courses located in UK but I haven't made up my mind yet.
Thanks again,
Kind regards

Good day.

Firstly, I hope that you have found what your are looking for.

Regarding translation courses, it would be best to find an online course to follow in your spare time. I run a translation agency that is based on the island of Mauritius and would be glad to offer guidance should you need.
