Beth,

Do you know anyone that has Chinese and/or Filipino speaking/writing skills that have an interest in community gardens/urban farming?  The City of Seattle is looking for folks on a contract basis to assist with their P-Patch Community Garden program...  If you know of anyone (either current UW farm folks or alumni), please forward along...

Thanks,

Stanley

Hi Stan,

 

You are correct in your speculation. For the contract work, I am seeking both Chinese dialects. If a candidate could do both that is even better but not required.  As for the Filipino community Tagalog would be the preference.

 

Connie is really great person and excellent resource .

 

Thank you for passing the information on.

 

Happy Holidays,

Hi Phi,

My name is Stanley Choi and I'm an academic adviser with the UW Program on the Environment.  I'm also one of Connie So's former students.  She forwarded me a contract position with the P-Patch Community Garden.  I was wondering which Chinese dialects you were seeking (Cantonese?  Mandarin?  Both?)  Also, for the Filipino community, I'm assuming you are looking for someone with Tagalog speaking capabilities (or another dialect?)  I work with many students/alumni that have interests in community gardens/farms and food systems.  There may be a few folks with these speaking/written capabilities too.  I would be happy to forward this on to our students if you feel it is appropriate.

Best,

Stanley

Hi Connie,

 

It has been awhile since I've seen you. Just for reference, I am Kieu Anh's and Chong's friend.

 

Because of your strong connection with the API and Chinese community, I was wondering if you know of anybody who is a member of the Chinese Community that would be interested in part-time project based outreach contract work for the P-Patch Community Garden Program. The person's Chinese must be strong both verbally and written due to interpretation and translation work. The total work hours is between 40 – 50hrs, over a 12 month period. It is great for somebody who is currently part-time  or looking for work. In addition, I am looking for folks to do outreach in the Filipino community too, similar criteria.  The attachment has more details on the contract work and compensation.

 

I am looking to immediately contract out outreach services for the Othello neighborhood. And in January, I will looking for a contractor for the White Center neighborhood. Please feel free to pass the information on.   

 

Thanks,

 

 

Happy Holidays,
