Japanese and English Interpreters for a week long mission
Japanese Company “Fuji Optical Ltd” is a private donor of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and has been assisting internally displaced persons, refugees and asylum seekers in Azerbaijan by conducting free of charge eye screening and dispensing eye glasses to vulnerable groups of the population every year since 2005. This year will be 10th such mission of the Company and its President, world famous Optometrist Doctor, 2006 Nansen Refugee Award Winner Dr. Akio Kanai to Azerbaijan. The mission will take place on 20 April – 2 May 2014 in South-western regions (Imishli, Beylagan, Fuzuli -TBC) of the country and in Baku.
Since the mission members do not speak local language, interpreting services are needed to facilitate oral communication between them and beneficiaries. In this regard, in 2014, there will be needed two English-Azerbaijani-English and four Japanese-Azerbaijani-Japanese interpreters to accompany the six optometrist doctors throughout the mission.
Tentative schedule of 2014 Fuji Vision Aid Mission has been suggested as following:
21 April, 14.00 – Meeting at UNHCR office and departure from Baku to regions
22 April – 26 April – Eye screening for IDPs in above mentioned regions
26 April, 15.30 – Departure of Interpreters from the region to Baku
28 April, from 9 am to 6 pm – eye screening for refugees and asylum seekers in Baku
Interpreters are paid approximately 70 USD per day and for maximum six days. Transportation, food and accommodation are provided by either Fuji Optical or UNHCR.
