Long shot - Looking for bilingual Mandarin/English in Central FLA

[Stumplicker]

Like the topic says, I'm looking for a bi-lingual Mandarin and English speaker who lives in Central Florida. Lakeland, to be specific. A friend of mine works for an agency that places Chinese students in American Universities. One of her students is in the ICU in Lakeland, and the hospital can't communicate with her parents. They're desperately looking to hire for Mandarin to English translators to be on site to communicate with the parents and in case of emergency.

Insane long shot of course, but send me a message if you meet the requirements.

That's unfortunate. I hope this student gets the help they need.

I would suggest asking the local university. There are a lot of Chinese international students that come over, and either a professor or one of the students in their program might be able or willing to fill in at least in case of emergency.

See if you can get ahold of PR at CentCom in Tampa, they might beable to send a military translator over to you from Tampa.

This is the agency that places those students in that program that's doin' the looking. I lived in that area for a while. Think the only real university in that western central florida area is SFU, which is exactly like USF if it was run and attended by community college students. Figured it's a long shot, but I put the word out everywhere, so why not here too.

That's a great idea. I'll pass that along. Thank ya.
