Multiple Languages

Last week we shared about our partnership with Nueva Vida and the impact this had on the people they serve. I thought it might be fun to see what something looks like in different languages. Remember Guatemala itself, no larger than the state of Tennessee in area with just over 17 million people, has between seventeen and twenty-three languages depending upon which source is used. Speaking Spanish is not always enough. As much as possible, we desire the rehabilitation promoters we train to speak the local language where they live. What might that look like? Here is the hand washing video we created in three different languages. 

Hand Washing – English
Lavado de manos – Español
Kaqchikel
