C to MIPS for count vowels

I am learning MIPS recently, can someone help me to convert the count vowels C code to MIPS? I could not find the similar count vowels MIPS code from Google or SO.

char myName[9] = "stevecurry";
int main()
{
    int low,high;
    int vowels;
    low=0;
    high=6;
    vowels=countvowels(low,high); //count the vowels using recursion
    return 0;
}

int countvowels(int low, int high)
{
    int middle;
    int count1,count2,count;
    if (low==high) { //only one element
        if(isVowel(low))
            return 1;
        else
            return 0;
    }
    else { //divide and conquer
        middle=(low+high)/2;
        count1=countvowels(low, middle); //recursive call
        count2=countvowels(middle+1, high);
        count = count1+count2;
        return count; //return sum of two sub-sets
    }
}
int isVowel(int low) // whether the indexed character is a vowel
{
    if(myName[low]=='a' ||myName[low]=='e' || myName[low]=='i' || myName[low]=='o' ||myName[low]=='u')
        return 1;
    else
        return 0;
}
