Dear Translations for Progress Team,

My name is Ishfaq Khan, and I am writing to express my interest in contributing to your mission as a translator/interpreter. With *three years of experience teaching English* and a deep commitment to bridging linguistic divides, I am eager to leverage my skills to support your initiatives.

*Background & Qualifications:*
- Completed high school education with a focus on language arts, laying the foundation for my fluency in *Pashto (native)* and *English (expert proficiency)*.
- *3+ years teaching English* to students of varying ages, refining my ability to simplify complex concepts and adapt communication styles to diverse audiences.
- Currently volunteering as an interpreter with *Tarjimly* and *Language without Borders, where I provide real-time translation for refugees, asylum seekers, and marginalized communities. Through these platforms, I’ve completed foundational courses in **cultural competency, **ethical interpreting, and **confidentiality protocols*, ensuring my work aligns with humanitarian standards.

*Why Translations for Progress?*
Your focus on using language as a tool for social change deeply resonates with my journey. Teaching in underserved communities and interpreting for vulnerable populations has shown me how language barriers perpetuate inequality. I am particularly drawn to your emphasis on *empowerment through communication, whether in education, legal aid, or healthcare. My experience has equipped me to deliver **accurate, culturally nuanced translations* that prioritize clarity and dignity for all stakeholders.

I would be honored to collaborate with your team to amplify the voices of those often unheard. Thank you for considering my application. I am eager to discuss how my skills and passion align with your projects.
