Team Update: Film Crew from U.S.
Scenario: SIL is finding that translation can be done quicker and more accurately if it is done by a person who grew up speaking the local language.
Problem: While these "mother-tongue" speakers do a fantastic job in their translations, the surrounding communities just do not have the financial means to be able to support them while they are working.
Solution: An organization in the U.S. dispached a film crew to the Philippines to interview one of these translators, so that his story can be relayed to others in the States. It was my job to assist the team leader in setting up the logistics of the trip before the team arrived.
