Stop-smoking program is looking for LDS translators 

Church is seeking volunteers to help with lesson manual
Jump to full article: Deseret News, 2007-11-18

Intro:

Thousands of Mormon missionaries have taught people to quit smoking using the LDS Stop Smoking program since it began in 1983, and now there is an effort to help many more people by translating the program into many languages.

The lesson manual was developed in Ireland in 1983, and since then has become an unofficial tool used by missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in their efforts to help people. The manual is available free for missionaries and LDS Church leaders who are willing to teach people to quit smoking, but it is only available in English.

Now a call has gone out to church members who have language skills that will enable them to translate the manual and are willing to volunteer their time to do so. Anyone interested in helping with the project should visit LDSStopSmokingProgram.org for more information and to offer their services.
