JCI ButNet

JCI ButNet campaign has been launched in cooperation with United Nations to take action against Malaria. The goal is to collect partnership and collect money to buy insecticide.

On May, 30th to the 2nd of June, 2010 we profited to the venue of
John Di Rico, VP International from JCE Pays Niçois who is doing a round the world trip providing software training for translators in more than 25 countries and raising money for the JCI bednets project to fight against malaria and save lives.

One way he is raising money is by couch surfing... That's 3 bednets and the occasion to meet, talk about what we are doing in our respective chapters, businesses, etc
You can find out more about my project on his website: www.wordfast.fr and some other info about him on his translation website: www.apextra.fr
We organized an informal meeting of translators on May 31, 2010 at Pizzeria Felicita. We were talking about CSR: http://www.proz.com/powwow/3212 (With over 300,000 registered freelancers, ProZ.com's database of translation service providers is the world's largest).

We discovered that around 70 000 of Czech citizens got the license to be translators, with one of a founder of a community Powwow in Czech Republic (community for independent translators), Pavel Janoušek we were discussing how can we cooperate and offer this possibility to this community of translators to develop and appreciate entrepreneurship.
