Description
In the framework of the project "Urban Rehabilitation for Historic Cairo", the UNESCO-World Heritage Centre is looking for an online volunteer to do the editing of two technical documents, with a complete check of the text (text body, footnotes, captions, legends and text incorporated in maps, tables and schemes,) in English language for style, grammar, spelling and punctuation. The volunteer will be duly credited on the documents.
The edited documents (Action Project Layout-3000 words, and Manual for the survey of buildings and open spaces -29000 words), should be submitted no later than 6 October 2013. Coordination with the URHC team via e-mail or Skype (as preferred) is foreseen for any questions the volunteer is not able to resolve. The volunteer should not replace technical terminology except upon agreement with the URHC team and avoid extensive rewriting of the text.
Number of volunteers: 1
