Greenville, SC, March 22, 2010- In an effort to support the earthquake victims in Haiti, Foreign Translations, Inc. (www.foreigntranslations.com) assisted the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) by translating information vital to the relief efforts. The company translated documents relating to the protection of children’s rights, forms and manuals used by relief workers and public service announcements providing information to the people of Haiti. These documents translated by Foreign Translations, Inc. assisted UNICEF in reaching out to victims of this natural disaster.
