I learned about Cedar almost four years ago, through my acquaintance with Alexandrina Dimitrova. I have always wanted to contribute through volunteering, but I was still looking for a cause which I could identify with, and which I could incorporate into my busy everyday life. I rarely miss a pub quiz and I always attend with huge enthusiasm. A little over a year ago, I learned that the foundation is in search of volunteers who would translate articles in and from English. I am a linguist by education, which meant this opportunity is entirely in my area of expertise and I can easily combine it with my day job as it is not something that requires me to put in a certain amount of time each day. Communication with Cedar is incredibly effective; most of the time I can set the deadlines for the document translations and, whenever I receive an email from Cedar, asking me for a translation, I feel very happy.
Volunteering greatly inspires me and I would gladly recommend it to everyone who is interested.
