As we reach the end of May and the sun’s summer rays start to warm our backs, PerMondo has used this solar energy to recharge its batteries and complete a huge amount of translations. Before we take a look at the work that has come to an end this week, let’s look at the new projects that we’ve got going on…

We’ve taken on an extremely interesting proofreading project for the moneyless traveller, Benjamin Lesage, and his Sans un Sou en poche project. We look forward to publishing the English translation of his self-written book on how to live a healthier and happier life without money in mid-June [Read more…]

We’ve not written in a few weeks, since we’ve been busy working on a lot of new translation projects – we hope you’ve not missed us too much! Although we haven’t delivered too much new work in the past few weeks, we have started a whole load of new projects, some of which are with new NGOs. Well then, let’s take a look…

The first organisation we’ve welcomed into our ranks has been Code Club UA, a Ukrainian organisation which teaches young people how to code. In an increasingly technological world, there’s no denying how important their impact will be in improving the employment prospects of the coming generations [Read more…]

We promised you last time that we would have a lot to tell you next time we sharpened our pencils and took to the blogosphere. And we certainly weren’t fibbing!

It’s been another busy week at PerMondo, and one in which we’ve said hello to a few new NGO faces and said goodbye to a precious intern. Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s crack on with it…

The first new NGO that we’d like to present to you is Asociación Mujeres Opañel, a Spanish-based organisation which fights for the well-being of women and their children who are often the victims of domestic violence. Great emphasis is put on socially vulnerable women, as the foundations aims to empower them and drive them towards a more independent future [Read more…]

Although a Frenchman, an Irish woman and a German may sound like the beginning of a pub joke, this time it meant PerMondo conducting an interesting interview with Rebecca Egan and Olivier Dreneau from L’Envol, a SeriousFun camp in France.

You can listen to the video below, but if you find the thought of not being able to see our beautiful faces somewhat unbearable, you can read the transcription of the interview instead.

Enjoy and don’t forget to follow our channel on YouTube!

For the eager readers amongst you, here’s the transcript…

Sabrina:           Good morning, Rebecca. Good morning, Olivier. Thanks for being here today. My name is Sabrina and I wanted to ask you a couple of questions about your collaboration with PerMondo – the initiative for free translations for NGOs – and I basically just wanted to know a little bit more about you and the organisation you work for. So, what exactly is it that l’Envol, or SeriousFun Children’s Network, does? And what is your specific role as, in your case [Olivier], Camp Director, or in your case [Rebecca], Assistant Camp Director?

Olivier:            Good morning. I’m Olivier; I’m the Camp Director of l’Envol [Read more…]

Welcome to another week of PerMondo action, where we look over the new projects that we have underway.

Before we delve into what we’ve been up to this week, however, we’d like to take a look at a project that we successfully completed for Bibliothèques Sans Frontières back in March of this year. The translation and proofreading of 24,563 words from English into French were carried out entirely by students at the University of Rennes, who were managed by Marine Martin and Nelson Luce.

The translators and proofreaders who collaborated on this huge project were: Marine Martin, Charlotte Longuèvre, Flavie Laurent, Sophie Laville, Nelson Luce, Allan Lefeuvre, Benjamin Lin, Kévin Goorochum, Manon Hugot, Mégane Peyvel, Romane Dérible, Solène Lemaire, Vanessa Calvez and Mallory Mandart. Thank you to everyone who got involved – we really appreciate your commitment, as does the NGO [Read more…]

Last year we conducted an interview with Maria Rita Tattini from Fondazione ANT and now we would like to share it with you.

To make it a bit more entertaining, we have recorded a video that you can actually watch.

Enjoy and let us know what do you think 😉

If you liked the video, you can also share it with your friends!
