We send a huge thank you to our Spanish interpretation team, Emma, Mary, and Myron! And we are deeply grateful to the connections among Friends and the prior work in practicing virtual interpretation that Friends World Committee for Consultation, Section of the Americas, has already been doing, which helped us find Quaker interpreters. Thanks to those who donated to make our sessions more inclusive to those who speak Spanish! (We hope to have the videos posted in Spanish shortly.)
