      Translation/vocabulary
      Submitted by LiaMaria on 2 April, 2010 - 16:08

      Hi,

      I am a teacher of EFL in Germany.

      Recently I've been talking about climate change with my students.

      Now I came across the word "development campaigners".  You cannot translate it literally into German.
      We say "Entwicklungshelfer" that would be "development (aid) worker".

      So please, can anyone tell me what's the difference between "development campaiger" and "development (aid) worker"?

      I'm looking forward to your replies.

      Best wishes

      LiaMaria

      Hey LiaMaria

      Greetings from the AngloAmerican Foundation.

      Campaigners refer more to promoters, sponsors and advertisers

      Aid workers refer merely to staff physically involved.

       Hope it helps

      Bye
