Arabic-speaking interpreters needed

Lutheran Children and Family Service runs a refugee foster care program in Philly where we work to bring refugee kids from camps overseas and place them into foster homes in this area.

We are always looking for help with interpretation in working with these kids from all over the world, but a specific need has recently been brought to our attention: We were asked to prepare for the possibility of an emergency evacuation of Unaccompanied Minors out of Egypt. They would be placed with us temporarily in hopes that their parents will soon follow. We have Arabic speaking staff, but I would like to see if there are community resources that I could tap into if we need additional support with interpretation. 

Please contact: Shannon C. Staley, MSW, Refugee Community Resource Developer at Lutheran Children and Family Service at 215/456.5700 x232 or shannons(at)lcfsinpa.org.
