Communication. Not much in this world can happen without it. Yet day after day, millions of people around the world communicate in spite of the fact that they do not share a common language. And it's largely thanks to interpreters. Whether it's rendering the nurse's encouraging words as a woman delivers a baby in the local hospital, carefully conveying the messages of foreign diplomats, converting the judge's decision accurately into another language in the courtroom, or interpreting a phone call during a life-threatening emergency, interpreters are helping our world go 'round. The From Our Lips to Your Ears project is a testament to the important work that interpreters do each and every day. This compendium of real-life interpreter anecdotes is a first-of-its-kind project that aims to memorialize the experiences of interpreters in order to enable readers to gain a greater appreciation of this incredibly complex and fascinating profession. Interpreters, share your stories with the world. Associations, spread the word to your members. Managers, encourage participation from your staff. Trainers and Educators, tell your students about this opportunity. Interpreters are helping our world go 'round.  Isn't it time the world knew about it?
