Organizations hiring translators as thousands of Afghan refugees resettle in US
Fox News
Organizations helping resettle Afghan refugees across the country say that as they take in more people over the next few weeks, there will likely be an increased demand for translators.
One volunteer who spoke with Fox News, and is remaining anonymous for her safety, has been a translator in Arizona since she moved from Afghanistan in 2017. She is fluent in English, Farsi, Urdu and Pashto. With the recent evacuations in Kabul, she says she has been interpreting phone calls almost daily.
"I used to work from 6:30 a.m. in the morning up to 9:30 p.m. at night I was on the phone," she says. "I just wrote down my name with the organization and I told them whenever you need me."
