Boeing Commits $2 Million USD to Support Humanitarian Efforts Following Terrorist Attacks in Israel

A new partnership between Boeing and Tarjimly, an app-based language and translation service, has been announced in order to improve translation accessibility for refugees and immigrants worldwide.

The $100,000 multi-year investment from Boeing will assist Tarjimly in improving the app user experience and enable more than 10,000 translator connections for 5,000 refugees who require urgent language assistance. Refugees will receive humanitarian assistance twice as fast due to the rise in real-time support.

The most user-friendly translation service in the world, Tarjimly instantly connects refugees and aid organization’s with volunteer translators in more than 120 languages. There are 30 million refugees in the world, and 44% of them are unable to comprehend information or effectively communicate with those who are attempting to assist them. Language barriers severely harm newcomers and refugees by limiting their access to services that can help them, which increases their isolation, abuse, and systemic poverty.

By utilizing Boeing’s vibrant, multilingual, and international workforce, this partnership gives Boeing staff members the chance to volunteer as translators or interpreters by taking a Tarjimly-led training course.

When Ratan Tata was denied entry to the airfield at the Aero India show, he waited

During our visit to Aero India 2019, we had the unexpected opportunity to see Ratan Tata at the event, which was a thrilling moment for us. However, there was a surprising hiccup when the security staff didn’t allow him to enter due to a lack of a security pass.

Despite this, he remained calm and patiently waited for about 20 minutes until a member of the Tata team brought him the required pass, after which he calmly proceeded inside. It was a humbling sight, showcasing his composed demeanor even in such situations.

Ratan Tata ji is not only a renowned industrialist but also a trained pilot, holding a pilot’s license. In 2007, he became the first Indian civilian to fly the F-16 Falcon during the Aero India show in Bangalore—a proud moment for the nation.

His passion for aviation extended beyond flying, as he played a key role in shaping India’s aerospace industry. Under his leadership, Tata ventured into manufacturing and maintaining aerospace components while upholding its legacy of quality. Notably, Tata’s collaboration with Airbus to develop and manufacture the C295 aircraft is a testament to its growing influence in the sector.
