I offer services in the Mam (Maya Mam) language, including:(1) Interpretation. I have remotely interpreted during attorney-client meetings, psychological evaluations, and legal hearings with migrants from my Mam-speaking community. I can interpret between Spanish and Mam. I am also part of the nonprofit Respond Crisis Translation, a collective of activists fighting for language justice and inclusion.
(2) Translation of documents. I have translated PSAs about legal matters, including a class action notice about family reunification and know-your-rights information about U.S. transit and driver's license laws. I also translated information about public health during the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition to written translations, I record audio messages reading these documents for people from my community who cannot read. In Guatemala, I have translated for government agencies, providing information about the climate and natural disaster prevention in Mam.
(3) Language classes, cultural immersion, and weaving. I offer private in-person and virtual classes to students who want to learn the Mam language. I also host them in my home so that they can live alongside my family and practice the Mam language. I currently work for the Casa Xelajú language school Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, where I give Mam classes and weaving workshops.
My clients include INSIVUMEH Guatemala, CONRED, the Southern Poverty Law Center, Al Otro Lado, and other nonprofit and government organizations.
If you need Mam language services, please contact me. Thank you. Muchas gracias. Chjonte. |
