We are happy to announce that from Monday, November 29, we will dedicate one full week to connect with our wonderful Arabic community. This is your chance to learn more about our work, win prizes, show your translation skills, and meet our staff and fellow translators. This is also our way of celebrating International Volunteer Day, on December 5, with our amazing community of volunteers.
Here’s the plan:
Participate in our Arabic translation contest. Your translation will be evaluated by other participants and our Arabic-speaking staff. The two best translations will win a prize of 150 USD for first place and 100 USD for second place. Anyone who scores over 18 (out of 25) will receive a certificate and become verified if they aren’t already.
Results will be announced on December 18, to celebrate the Arabic Language Day The two winners of the contest have already been notified by email.
Join our webinars! All presentations will be in English, and you are welcome to interact in Arabic. Participants will be entered into a random prize draw. For each webinar, one lucky winner will get a 100 USD prize! The winner has to be part of the TWB community. We have now notified the winners of the prize draw - congratulations if you received the email!
