Lillian M. Garcia, outreach specialist for multicultural community at Northeastern University in Boston says that they provide continuing education workshops for working interpreters and she hopes to organize a workshop focusing on Jewish culture, religion and sign technicals as interpreters have expressed interest in a such workshop to become familiar with basic Jewish beliefs, how to sign certain words and obtain an increased understanding. Garcia is asking for suggestions or names of appropriate people who would be willing to give a such workshop, preferably someone who is an interpreter or a Deaf consumer who works closely with interpreters. She can be reached at 617/373-4302 TTY or e-mail at [email protected].
