OBJECTIVE
My belief in the mission of translation emanates from my knowledge that culture
can reform whole nations. In addition, translating valuable books to the target
language would enable the readers to know better about other countries and their
cultures, the thing which creates a better understanding among people of different
nationalities, hence, helping in the cultural exchange and lessening bigotry. Thus, I
was searching for an encouraging environment where I could work efficiently
putting my knowledge, skills and energy into effect.
