Mayan Translators
The first group of simultaneos Mayan translators graduated this week in a Mayan ceremony with marimba music. The first group of translators graduated with the support of the IGA and the Academy of Mayan Languages. One of the graduates explained that where she comes from, there were always problems in communicating with other people from different backgrounds. Now, she hopes to contribute more to get rid of communication barriers between different language groups. The president of The Academy of Mayan Languages also said that this program for Simultaneous translators would not have been possible without the help of the Guatemalan-American Institute.
