Hello Kerry!
That is an unusual request...I do not know how to find a Colombian  
Sign Language interpreter in the United States...

But perhaps an International Sign Language Interpreter might be an  
answer?

In Europe, there are "International Interpreters" who have the rare  
skill of being able to sign with signs that stem from a series of  
western signed languages, and for some Deaf people, international  
interpreters are very helpful...

Other Deaf people, from countries that are not in the west, tell me  
they do not understand international interpreting...so it depends on  
the Deaf people you are servicing...

I can put you in touch with two International Interpreters our  
organization hired once, for the 2005 SignWriting Symposium in  
Brussels. One of those interpreters is an American, so perhaps she  
could be hired to go to Boston, if you have the funds...

Write to me privately if you would like that contact...

And meanwhile, is there anyone on the SignWriting List who knows a  
Colombian Sign Language interpreter?

Val ;-)
