The visuals provided through video
resources can greatly aid understanding to
interpreters of LLDs. The narration of most
videos is slow enough that makes them
easily adaptable as interpreter training
resources. The availability of an English
version of the video would allow
instructors an opportunity to provide some
level of feedback even when the instructor
is unfamiliar with the LLD.
n/a
The main goal of these videos is to train
health workers in remote areas. The
Founder of this initiative is a physician who
worked with Doctors Without Borders and
identified a need to impart basic knowledge
on how to assist births happening outside
the hospital. Most videos have to do with
birthing, pre and post-natal care,
breastfeeding (also expressing milk by

one on cholera.
