Hi,
Wikimedia UK has been invited to join the Victoria and Albert Museum's Web Weekend for a day of public outreach activities where we would also help improve some articles about India related artefacts and create the same topics in Hindi and other language Wikipedias. It would be very helpful to assess potential interest and guarantee a couple of volunteers with suitable language skills that can help with editing articles and facilitating the event.
We have an excellent room for the day that can take up to 20 people comfortably and the V&A will be supplying lunch and beverages.

Hi fae - why dont you contact India House or Nehru Centre or Bharitya Vidya Bhavan in London. One of these 3 should surely be able to provide volunteers with suitable language skills.
Kind Regards, User:AroundTheGlobe

hi Fae,
I think User:AroundTheGlobe's suggestion would be great to get you people to help with the hosting/coaching people who'd like to edit in the South Asian languages in addition to the editathon.
For people who cannot directly make it to London, I believe there is provision for e-volunteering as well. If you could elaborate on that, it'd be great.
warm regards, Pradeep Mohandas
