Where to post pro-bono jobs? (important and rare medical case)

Hello everybody,
I apologise if this is not the place to post the inquiry but I'm a little lost.
I would like to know if there's a specific place to post pro-bono jobs.
The reason I'm asking is that I'm currently translating into English (pro-bono) a short document for a family here in Chile whose little boy suffers from a rare disease that is literally causing him to lose the tips of his fingers and toes.

An American MD will be here in Santiago and they have agreed to meet him on Monday, so they need said document translated as it summarizes the course of the disease. Given that English is not my native language, I am sure that the translation is not as good as it could and should be, despite my best efforts.
I'd appreciate it immensely if you could point me in the right direction.

Hi Andrea
Oct 5, 2006
You can post it in the Jobs section and give the same explanation.
State the length of the document (and other useful information) and I also suggest to ask for a short test. You can't imagine the differences you can see in a short paragraph.
