Fwd: Celebrating Antarctica - seeking translators

Hi Everyone, 

This is a great project for anyone interested in helping with outreach. We have a French translator lined up, but any other languages, including some northern languages would be amazing!

Please contact Gerlis if you are interested.

Dear Gerlis, APECS outreach, and APECS national leaders,
 
Thanks to APECS members over the past 5 years Antarctica Day 1st December has been celebrated around the world. Allen Pope has done a wonderful job creating the booklet 'Celebrating Antarctica - A Treaty Protecting a Continent' based on the story about the Antarctic Treaty written by 4th graders, including Antarctic flag designs by the students from 30 countries.
 
"Celebrating Antarctica" is now available online in 5 languages via celebratingantarctica.tumblr.com We are seeking help to get it translated into French and Russian (Antarctic Treaty languages). We welcome translations Bulgarain, Dutch, Italian, Japanese, Malaysian (countries where students have contributed) as well as reaching out with Arabic and Korean. The attached word file has a table with the text in English and Spanish with a space for NEW Translations. If you could circulate this request we will work with the translators and reviewers to get it published.
 
It really is amazing to be able to spread this book to so many people.
 
Thanks so much for your help!
Julie
 
PS My husband Paul Berkman says to thank you for all your kind collaboration!
