==== Do you remember your first days in Second Life? ====
</div>
Every day new residents try to find a start in the world. They need You! They need your help to find places worth seeing, to learn how to get rid of the box they wear instead of hair, to not feel lost in the huge world that expects them, or they just need someone to explain them what Second Life is about.


*Thanks to our volunteer localizers Geneko Nemeth and Ken March, our 1.22 viewer is now available in '''Simplified Chinese'''.  
==== Have you ever tried to build something and got stuck? ====
* We are currently trying to finalize loc cycle 1 for 1.23 viewer.
Scripts, prims, sculpts, textures, shapes and skins... There is so much to play with, so many cool things you can build and so much that can go wrong. Wouldn´t it be cool if there was someone to ask for help? This is where you step in! You can help residents to develop their skills by providing localized Knowledge Base and Help articles.

<div style="background:#ccddff">
==== Do you have a hard time reading english words? ====
Some people do. Many residents can´t access help resources because they don´t speak english. Your help can make a difference. By translating the wiki, the viewer, blog posts and more you can help those residents find the information needed.


=='''CZECH'''==
==== Still not convinced? ====
Volunteering is fun and makes a difference in the world. You can make new friends and share your skills with others. It´s something different and you help develop skills. You develop your communication skills and can work in a team. Helping others builds your self-esteem and self-confidence. You will feel needed and appreciated.
