my first time volunteering online<\/strong>, but one of the most amazing experiences I\u2019ve ever had. I discovered that even when you\u2019re home, you can still help others get vital information. This encouraged me to work daily on those tasks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have chatted with other community members &#8211; who are my e-friends now. They inspired me with all the work they do while they were going through hard times. I found many people who supported me and encouraged me to show the world what I can do. For me, this was an opportunity to work in different fields and help as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I get to help provide<strong> language services for different causes<\/strong> &#8211;<strong> especially<\/strong> <strong>education and children. <\/strong>It&#8217;s more than enough to make me want to continue to volunteer with TWB. I know the work I do will help to enhance someone\u2019s knowledge or help them get needed information. This makes it worth the time&#8230; even after a long working day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Over the last two years, I\u2019ve seen the TWB Community grow fast<\/strong>. It is amazing that you have reached 100,000 volunteers. And your way of coping with this growth was great as well. I am sure you will always find the support you need from community members. I can see TWB will keep evolving, flourishing, and expanding its capacities and resources to accomplish its mission in the best possible way. And I cannot wait to be part of your next stop on this long journey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><strong>\u2013 Salwa, TWB community member<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/o2CZHoiNEoKU_VGBJ7y8NNYivFbngJ0d1qIhqY5UNeOwp0h-Ru7IyRR-o8zBeyQVGl4Xs_4CT8G-MteijOHSRZGq-rxd30BOOYTXCWHR7raQbVBap-fOfTIdYBcYc119_7aNCOX7fDyL7kfrKTf1QhTS6Aew8w-4q_dRMi4n4xu5VcY8oU0fpvjrYz48sQ\" alt=\"head and shoulders shot of Salwa waring a light grey and white scarf and black jacket , stood against a dark grey brick wall. \"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Salwa is a French teacher who has donated 650,404 words in Arabic and French. She has worked with TWB and CLEAR Global on projects supporting health and education for American Red Cross, Concern Worldwide, Save the Children, the H2H Network\u2019s COVID-19 response, and the World Health Organization (WHO), among others. Her skills include translation, revision, subtitling, monolingual editing, desktop publishing (DTP), voiceover, and interpretation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tien helps Vietnamese migrants understand vital advice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was inspired by the fact that more Vietnamese migrants will be able to understand the information sent to them. I feel happy that more Vietnamese volunteers are joining the TWB Community. And I think CLEAR Global and TWB Community will develop strongly in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Tien, TWB community member<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tien has long been a committed volunteer for TWB who has donated 82,8553 words to good causes. He has translated and revised with CLEAR Global, COVID-19 task forces, Partners In Health, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hiba celebrates team effort in rapid crisis response<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiba says, \u201cI first discovered TWB at a time when I wanted to do more \u2013 to have a bigger meaning than my work, my circle, and me. I wanted to actually have an impact on people&#8217;s lives. And TWB just felt like the right place. Joining the community has been one of the best things I did. It gave me this sense that yes, I am doing something that matters. Something that \u2013 I hope \u2013 makes a positive change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, I&#8217;m impressed by the fact that TWB acts really quick to provide resources and linguistic help whenever a crisis arises, and in just less than three years, as you know, we have had COVID-19, the Ukraine crisis, and more. TWB works really hard to keep up with the language needs that arise. This takes me to the community.  After all, this is not the work of one person, but hundreds of people \u2013 even thousands. The community now has 100,000 members \u2013 who decide to volunteer their time and effort, even on a daily basis, to help other people. This actually gives one hope about the future, no matter how grim the picture looks.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><strong>\u2013 Hiba, TWB community member&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiba has donated 1,294,561 words in English and Arabic. She has translated and revised projects for health, migration, and equality projects to help people get vital information with CLEAR Global, CARE International, IFRC, Oxfam, and other nonprofits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Usman meets chatbot users in northeast Nigeria&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cWe have communications solutions at our fingertips.<\/strong> One Wednesday afternoon after office hours, I got a glimpse into the impact of one of our language solutions. I was at a local coffee shop when I heard a group of young people discussing the chatbot &#8220;Manhajar Shehu.&#8221; This is what we used to call it during our programs on the local radio\u2019s live show. I keenly listened to their conversation as they debated some of the ways to get vaccinated and some traditional herbs that they had heard cured COVID-19. They had heard so many myths, they didn\u2019t know what to believe. One of them used the chatbot in Hausa and they got reliable answers in seconds as he introduced his friends to Shehu.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shehu is CLEAR Global\u2019s AI chatbot which helps people get reliable answers <\/strong>to their questions about COVID-19 in Hausa and Kanuri. Some of them were amazed at how the bot responded promptly and accurately in their local language. I proudly told them I was part of the team that built the bot, which sparked a load of questions. It is of great personal satisfaction to me knowing that people are not only using the bot out of fun, but they\u2019re also glad and amazed with the information they receive from the bot. We are making a great positive impact on the lives of people in North-Eastern Nigeria and Maiduguri to be specific.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><strong>\u2013 Usman, from CLEAR Global<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/sUArJujN45uX986u3vHsEbN9_9w4bLdUaOdPNikdqo84jy4WmXe_Wg24T50KKVPUEW8Q2ZwD2iwyJlygLxNahXMxDfCEvJfR5Ot6o-VgL1pMDwOO9gd2HFDdvN-ZSy9DhqDEIY9j85-LXEttMoC0GUG6VXXdj8cDEUYLKyMFpYNMvBBB7kk-hqNHvJu4Mg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"NaN\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our chatbots have exchanged over 100,000 conversations.
