He was of great support in translating from English to Somali (two different dialects of Somali) for the group of woman artisans being trained. He was attentive to detail, arrived on time, and had excellent communication skills - able to not only translate but also build trust with the women we worked with. In addition, Mohamed was able to bring his own experience and knowledge as an online freelancing entrepreneur to the training as he was able to understand the material being taught and the objectives of the training. This awareness made his services at a very high level. Mohamed also translated written Somali to English and English to Somali to a good level. We were very happy to work with Mohamed and would definitely recommend him and work with him again.'' Thank you for your support! Excellent, amazing freelancer. I am highly recommending him to anyone who may be looking for a patient, kind, and responsible freelancer. Looking forward to hiring him again. Once again Mohamed Omar Hasan proved to be a very reliable professional for his translation services during a one-week training with a group of women artisans being trained in tie-dye skills.
