I am a total beginner at mapping but I’d like to help out and get more involved in the field. How do I apply as a communications volunteer? And around when is the bulk of the work expected to take place?

Hi, I am willing to be a communications volunteer. I have been an online content editor for some time and the tasks are somehow aligned so I think I can manage to do it.

wonderful! please send a message :slight_smile:

Hi there. We formed the team and communicates via Facebook Messenger. Work is kind of lite right now, we need help in getting the word out (Call for Venues, Reviewers and Volunteers) especially engaging with Asian communities to participate and nominate reviewers in their country. Would you like to help with that? :slight_smile:

I am also nominating Tasauf A Baki Billah (Ribin) for the review team from Bangladesh.
