Interpreters:
Every year we serve children whose families do not speak English and we need interpreters. In past years we have had particular need for interpreters for Mandarin and Spanish as well as Vietnamese, French, Arabic, Cantonese, and several other languages. If you or anyone you know would like to act as an interpreter during Give Kids Sight Day, please let us know.

If you need any more info or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 215-563-5848, ext 14. Thank you in advance for all of your help in making Give Kids Sight Day a big success!

Sincerely,
Chris Capron
