Celebrating 10 Years of Local Guides mapping the world, together

@TiffanyBnyc ,
In 2020, during the COVID-19 outbreak, Pavel and I, along with other local guides @ShafiulB , @ShahMdSultan , launched #BangladeshChallenge to enrich Google Maps in Bangladesh. With support from A2i, we encouraged people to add and update emergency locations like pharmacies, hospitals, and mobile money agents to help citizens access essential services. This initiative played a crucial role in supporting communities during lockdowns.

This effort led to my recognition as a Guiding Star - Helpful Hero in 2020. (Bangladesh Challenge - An initiative for enriching rural Maps in Bangladesh during covid time 2020)

Outcome:* Proper digital map will be created for the whole Bangladesh including remote areas and enrich Google Maps. A total of 31087 youths participated and provided 42993 Locations data in different categories. Out of all participants, *3902 were Local Guides.

Thanks to local guides team :orange_heart:
