English to Dutch: Global Strategic Plan of NGO General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: International Org/Dev/Coop
Source text - English The organization’s health work has shown that people with ID are consistently left out of health systems that are ill-equipped to diagnose and treat them. This leads to massive inequities – much shorter life spans, severe pain and inability to fully participate in society. And it directly impedes our vision of inclusion through sport, as any athlete needs to be healthy to compete at their best. Data indicate that 60.2% of adult athletes are obese or overweight, 22.4% of have never had an eye exam, 14.4% have mouth pain and 26.4% fail hearing screenings.
All strong sports programs focus on the health and fitness of their athletes to enable them to compete at their best. Athletes who can finally see the ball clearly, hear their coach properly or are no longer overweight can compete to their full potential. We will expand our health programs to continue addressing these and other needs, working with partners and health care systems to put more emphasis on follow up treatment, create much greater access to health care for our athletes, and directly contribute to our mission of developing physical fitness and supporting active participation in sports and society.
Translation - Dutch Werk van de organisatie op het gebied van gezondheid heeft aangetoond dat mensen met een verstandelijke beperking steevast geweerd worden uit de gezondheidszorg die niet voldoende uitgerust is om hen te diagnosticeren en behandelen. Dit leidt tot een enorme ongelijkheid - zij hebben een veel kortere levensduur, lijden hevige pijn en zijn niet in staat om volledig mee te doen in de samenleving. En dit staat regelrecht tegenover onze visie om door sport inclusie te bereiken omdat iedere sporter gezond moet zijn om op hun best aan wedstrijden mee te kunnen doen. Gegevens tonen aan dat 60,2% van de volwassen sporters aan overgewicht of zwaarlijvigheid lijdt, 22,4% nog nooit een oogonderzoek gehad heeft, 14,4% pijn in de mond ervaart en 26,4% voor gehoortests zakt.
Alle sterke sportprogramma's concentreren zich op de gezondheid en conditie van hun sporters om het voor hen mogelijk te maken naar hun beste kunnen aan wedstrijden mee te doen. Sporters die de bal duidelijk kunnen zien, hun coach fatsoenlijk kunnen horen of niet langer aan overgewicht lijden kunnen in wedstrijden hun volledig potentieel benutten. We willen onze gezondheidsprogramma's uitbreiden om deze en andere behoeften verder aan te pakken waarbij we samenwerken met partners en gezondheidszorg om meer nadruk te leggen op vervolgbehandelingen, betere toegang tot zorg te creëren en een directe bijdrage te leveren aan onze missie om aan fysieke gezondheid te werken en actieve deelname aan sport en samenleving te ondersteunen.

Source text - English PURE NATURE?
How nature processes plastics
Everybody has seen it: the picture of marine animals that mistake plastic trash with food and thus suffer a tragic death. Also on beaches and on streets one finds plastic bags, food packaging, and Styrofoam cups that will take decades to decompose. That is, unless they are properly disposed of and converted into reusable plastics by means of recycling processes. Plastic in our oceans and on land is also dangerous for humans: due to friction, the effects on ultraviolet radiation and evaporating plasticizers makes plastic trash disintegrate into smaller and smaller parts. The tiny plastic micro-particles are then eaten by animals and by the end of the food chain they land right on our dinner table.
TASK 1: Try to develop a compost system together with your biology teacher. Conduct an experiment in a 1.5 litter bottle and see how quickly paper towels, banana peels, chewing gum, plastic, and other substances decompose in organic waste.
TASK 2: Due to the fact that people want to use plastic shopping bags "once in a while" to bring their groceries home, the material is here to stay. It takes many decades for plastic to biologically decompose.
Think about other alternatives for items made from plastic. What tools and materials do you need to avoid using plastic altogether?
Translation - Dutch PUUR NATUUR?
Hoe de natuur plastic verwerkt
Iedereen heeft het wel eens gezien: een foto van zeedieren die denken dat plastic afval voedsel is en op die manier een tragische dood sterven. Ook op het strand en de straat kun je plastic zakken, voedselverpakkingen en piepschuim bekers die er tientallen jaren over doen om af te breken. Tenzij ze natuurlijk op een fatsoenlijke manier weggegooid worden en omgezet worden in herbruikbaar plastic met behulp van recycleprocessen. Plastic in onze oceanen en op het land is ook gevaarlijk voor mensen: als gevolg van wrijving, de effecten van ultraviolet straling en weekmakers die verdampen valt plastic afval uit elkaar in steeds kleiner wordende deeltjes. Deze piepkleine plastic microdeeltjes worden vervolgens door dieren gegeten en aan het einde van de voedselketen belanden ze recht op onze borden.
TAAK 1: Probeer samen met je biologiedocent een compostsysteem op te zetten. Voer een experiment uit in een 1,5 liter fles en kijk hoe snel keukenpapier, bananenschillen, kauwgom, plastic, en andere materie in organisch afval afgebroken worden.
TAAK 2: Omdat mensen "eens in de zoveel tijd" plastic boodschappentassen willen gebruiken om hun boodschappen mee naar huis te brengen, zal dit materiaal voorlopig niet verdwijnen. Het duurt vele tientallen jaren voor plastic op natuurlijke wijze afgebroken wordt.
Bedenk andere alternatieven voor spullen die van plastic gemaakt worden. Welke gereedschappen en materialen heb je nodig om gebruik van plastic compleet te vermijden?

I specialize in website and software localization and the translation of texts pertaining to education, the humanities and social sciences.
In September 2015, I obtained the Diploma in Translation with merit, and two years before that I completed the Postgraduate Certificate course in Principles and Practice of Translation at City University in London, UK. Together with my master's degree in Intercultural Communication, this means that I possess the practical skills and academic knowledge to ensure a high quality of my translations.
Since 2009, I have also been active as an English teacher. Consecutively living in Istanbul, London, Beijing and now in Istanbul again, I have worked and lived with native speakers of English from many countries where it is the first language. This has given me a lot of insight into the many varieties of English as well as cultural knowledge of each English-speaking community. Since I am a native speaker of Dutch and a national of the Netherlands, I have excellent knowledge of both my source and target languages and cultures.
Since 2015, I have translated documents for several NGOs through the Rosetta Foundation, including the Special Olympics organization and the Foundation for Environmental Education. I have also localized a number of applications and websites for independent developers. In addition, I have worked gained translation experience through Unbabel and Gengo.
Please download my CV through the link above for more information. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have are interested in working with me or have any questions.
