How to help community!

Hi,

Well there is a question that is getting somehow on my nerve. I'm a programmer and a translator in 4 languages(perisan/english/french/arabic). I want to help the community , but i have no idea where should i start from, or what to do at all!

what do you do to help community?
what do you suggest me to do?

That's really neat. I would suggest volunteering to teach people the languages you know. I bet there are tons of people who would love to learn those languages. Or news papers generally have a section each year listing different orginizations to volunteer at. The net is also packed with sites that show you local volunteer opportunities like helping drive the elderly, volunteering at nature reserves, or things like CASA.

Personally, I volunteer at the library when I have time. (I love books) Or, I pick up litter at local hiking spots. It's fun because you get to see all the new baby owls and beautify their home.

thanks but i meant doing something for jedi...!

That's good advice, Wendaline. As for me, in all honesty, I'm not sure what you should do, Sajjad.

However, I personally think that your skills with Persian, English, Arabic, and French are AMAZING! (I can only speak English, and not that excellently either...)

You could be an amazing negotiator between the west and the middle east. Then again, volunteering anywhere, on a smaller scale, is just as helpful as a whole. I'd suggest volunteering for any community service opportunities that interest you - even service opportunities where you don't use your language skills.

Oh, I see (sorry, I posted too soon).

The Jedi Order could very much use translators. However, I know we need a lot of help with spanish speakers (and not necessarily french, arabic, and persian speakers...)

Have you thought about writing a blog about your Jedi experiences in your three non-english languages? You could spread the word on places like blogger, wordpress, even facebook and twitter.

It's worth a shot.

Just by being here and giving advice to members when they need it, becoming a great Jedi and in generally doing good would be the best help you can do for the community right now.
