My name is Jonathan Camacho and I am an intern with United Way of the Bluegrass. The refugee population in Central Kentucky includes Nepalese and Bhutan groups that United Way does not have as much information about regarding their experience in the community, assets, needs, barriers, and preferences. For this reason, there is the need for a volunteer that can help translating a survey into Nepalese language. Please let me know if you will be interesting in volunteering translating the survey or you know somebody that can do it.
Thanks in advance for your collaboration.
