Hello friends.

We want to say thank you to the steemit for this opportunity to serve as new comers curators for the month of May. We are reinforcing our commitment to serving and guiding the newcomers who joined the ecosystem within the last three months.

We encourage them to read others posts to learn more and get involved in the contests holding in the different communities, try and be a part of the steemit challenge while abiding to the rules. Stay away from plagiarism and the use of AI in making their posts and be part of the active community through engagement with others.

Base on the quality of their posts they would be selected weekly to receive support from steemcurator01 outside the regale support they will receive from us.
