To further our\u00a0commitment, we <a href=\"https:\/\/learning.mozilla.org\/blog\/help-us-teach-the-web-in-your-language\">launched a campaign<\/a> in November to rally volunteers from our communities to help localize the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/learning.mozilla.org\/en-US\/activities\/offline-icebreakers\/\">Offline Icebreakers<\/a>&#8221;\u00a0 teaching\u00a0activities.<br \/>\nThe response from our communities to this campaign was fantastic. In the first week, we had 11 community members\u00a0sign-up. The pool of volunteers was quite\u00a0diverse, and included teachers, club members, localizers, and others,\u00a0all eager to help us in this campaign. It was inspiring to witness them collaborate and work together to localize curriculum in their languages.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14711 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/webmakerblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-06-at-4.16.46-PM.png\" alt=\"screen-shot-2017-01-06-at-4-16-46-pm\" width=\"468\" height=\"506\" \/><br \/>\nWith that said, possibly the\u00a0most significant learning from this exercise was that this diverse set of community members is\u00a0not only enthusiastic about helping\u00a0Mozilla strengthen its commitment to web literacy, but is\u00a0keen on getting involved in the process. Their feedback in this campaign has been\u00a0incredibly valuable to us and is helping\u00a0us further refine and improve\u00a0future localization efforts.<br \/>\nWhile we have plans to\u00a0integrate the contributions from this campaign into the <a href=\"https:\/\/learning.mozilla.org\/activities\">Activities section of our Learning website<\/a>, we do want to first showcase their amazing work here.
