Slice of Life 50: Volunteer Work

MP3 Audio (Lesson) | MP3 Audio (Dialog)

We all need a little help sometimes, and fortunately good neighbors, friends, and church groups rally to help out and provide community service. Here in Texas natural disasters seem to top the list: tornados, hurricanes, floods and fires. In today’s episode it is time to put together some food packages. Feel free to join us if you’d like to.

 A: I just got a call from Barbara at the Food Bank.
Acabei de receber uma ligação da Barbara do Banco de Alimentos.
  B: Yeah, what’s up? Do they need some help this weekend?
Sim, e aí? Eles precisam de ajuda neste fim de semana?
  A: They do. A number of people lost their homes in last night’s tornado.
Sim. Várias pessoas perderam a casa deles no tornado da noite passada.
  B: Do they need some donations?
Eles precisam de doações?
  A: Not so much donations, but they need people to help put together the food packages.
Doações nem tanto, mas estão precisando de gente pra ajudar a montar os pacotes de alimentos.
  B: I’ve got some free time tomorrow morning. Tell Barb that we’re in.
Eu tenho um tempinho amanhã de manhã. Diga pra Barb que estamos dentro.
  A: Great, Barbara said they’re getting together around 9:00am, OK?
Ótimo, a Bárbara me disse que eles vão se reunir por volta das 9h da manhã, beleza?
  B: No problem, I’ll invite Jamie to join us too.
Sem problemas, vou convidar a Jamie para ir também.

    I can’t thank you all enough for all the work you and the entire team put in to make Lingua Da Gente.

      Indeed, I look back on the delightful hours that we spent in the recording studio, what a fun project it was. It’s rewarding to look back on a project and still get excited when listening to the episodes.
