Translator Volunteers, 'Angels' Come to Quake-Hit Yushu

After Yushu was hit by an earthquake on April 14, the Communist Youth League Committee of Sichuan province recruited 100 Chinese-Tibetan translator volunteers as soon as possible to participate in the rescue work in quake-hit area.

On the night of April 15, those translator volunteers had been sent to hospitals to take the jobs of translating, accompanying and transferring the wounded.

Most of those volunteers are students of Southwest University for Nationalities, and they can communicate well with the wounded. For some student volunteers, their home is Yushu, but they swallowed their grief and contributed their best just like angels.
