Hi all, I am User:Netha Hussain from India. I have been editing ml-wikipedia for more than an year. I am appointed as an online ambassador of India education program. My job is to help the campus ambassadors and students with editing Wikipedia. Presently, I am assigned a class of engineering students, and I am to help them with editing wikipedia. I have not been in touch with campus ambassadors other than that of my allotted class. Though I am not very experienced, I'd be more than happy to mentor and support other women campus ambassadors of India education program. Anything I could do towards it?
