English-to-Russian Volunteer Translators & Interpreters Needed

The Chernobyl Children Project USA, the largest organization in the U.S. that provides medical treatment and respite care for children from the Chernobyl-affected areas of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine, needs volunteers to translate the children’s medical records from English into Russian after they complete their medical care at the end of July.

The children arrived in Boston to begin their treatments on June 23rd and the organization is also looking for interpreters to assist the families during their visit.

There is a brief online survey for translators and interpreters interested in volunteering.

The Chernobyl Children Project USA, based in Boston, Massachusetts, arranges medical care in the U.S. for children suffering from a wide variety of ailments and places them with volunteer host families during their stay. The project has provided care for more than 1,500 children.
