Dear WLE community!
This year in order to help our contest be more shared and inclusive for everyone, we're inviting experienced WLE volunteers to become *regional ambassadors* to help out the international organizing team.
The main responsibilities of the ambassadors are the help with translations and communications in order to reach out to more regions, where English is not so widespread.
So, meet some of our ambassadors!
