If you want to see them, just go to www.noexcusescampaign.org or search for the No Excuses campaign against domestic violence on YouTube. We use animation and humor. There are 11 30-second spots so there are not that many words. However, we have no money to pay for translations or voice-overs. So, am I allowed to post this as a job on this site? Will the translators on this site donate their services? Thank you.

However, I made the mistake of posting these jobs under my own profile account, and now that I no longer work at that NGO, my profile here is still associated with it. | | | Affiliation removed | May 21, 2012 |
Dear Samuel, I see that your affiliation with the Blue Board record for that NGO was removed in March 2011. Do you still see it anywhere on ProZ.com? If you do, please let me know and I will take care of it. Thank you.
