Hello Local Guides,
You know, reflecting on my seven years here, it’s not just the places we map, it’s the people we meet that truly make this community special. And @Tejal? She’s one of those rare souls who just radiates positivity and impact. This Women’s Day , I’m so thrilled to celebrate her – a woman whose passion for education lights up lives brighter than any classroom bulb! Seriously, imagine a world where every child feels seen, heard, and empowered to learn. That’s the world Tejal’s crafting, one workshop, one student, one heartfelt mentorship at a time, all powered by her incredible work with Google Maps .
What Makes Tejal So Incredibly Special
She’s a True Transformer: She’s not just imparting knowledge, she’s igniting potential. I’ve personally witnessed her ability to connect with and inspire young minds, especially those who might feel overlooked.
Her Dedication is Beyond Words: I’ve seen her year after year, pouring her heart into organizing workshops for people with disabilities, volunteering tirelessly in schools, and providing personalized mentorship to children with unique needs. The sheer amount of time and care she invests is just… wow. It’s a reminder of what true dedication looks like.
She Champions Inclusivity: It’s not just about academics for Tejal. She’s a Guiding Star 2021, an Accessibility Champion, and a role model for how to build a truly inclusive community.
She’s a Community Builder Extraordinaire: She’s played a vital role in nurturing a vibrant Local Guides community in India. That’s not just a title; it’s a testament to her ability to bring people together.
Tejal’s Guiding Principle: “Education is the key to unlocking human potential. It empowers individuals and transforms communities.”
Let’s give Tejal, our incredible local hero, a massive round of applause! I’m genuinely curious, who are the women who inspire you this Women’s Day? I’d love to hear your stories and celebrate them with you in the comments!
@Tejal ben is really amazing! I totally admire her for her warm and welcoming nature, she does so much for the community.
I appreciate her efforts towards accessibility and helping people.
@Tejal ben , what makes you unique in my observation is… you are the only oldest LG who understood the importance of Google Gems, Google Education and many other things, and shared those things in the local community and those things actually made the local community better, and that is what a good teacher does.
Thanks.
@NareshDarji It was unexpected for me, so I am speechless and not able to understand what to write in reply. It was my pleasure to take a virtual tour for all students who were unable to travel. I always count my blessings while doing any accessible project currently working on e-waste solution awareness programmes in my community. Iam the first one to installed E wastebin in my town. but I am happy you recognised my efforts and hot. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
Regards Tejal
Congratulations, @Tejal !
