I’m honestly speechless after seeing this post. Managing such a huge amount of data and presenting it so beautifully on a single page is truly unbelievable.
I feel really proud to be a member of this community.
Thank you, @MahabubMunna vai, for your incredible effort.

Fabulous job @MahabubMunna bhai, and inspiring too

I plan to do a similar round-up for India local guides.

We recently celebrated our 100th meetup in 2025 and 3 more are planned until December 31

[Azijulhakimbd]

Wonderful, Good Job @MahabubMunna Bhai

[Shakilbd0]

@MahabubMunna বাংলাদেশ লোকাল গাইড কখনোই পথ হারাবে না, যদি দিন বাংলাদেশ লোকাল গাইডের নেতৃত্ব দিয়ে যাবে। আপনার ও বাংলাদেশ লোকাল গাইডের জন্য অভিনন্দন রইলো।

[jakiripsc]

@MahabubMunna Brother, you have written it amazingly. I am truly impressed -your collection is astonishing.

[MahabubMunna]

I do not wish to make an open call to anyone. However, in response to your expression of interest, I would like to say that creating a similar index for India would be highly valuable—one that could serve as a dictionary-style reference for future visitors or for anyone seeking information on behalf of others.
@TusharSuradkar , I sincerely hope you will take the initiative to create such an index in the near future.

At the same time, I would also like to invite my Indonesian friend @NunungAfuah to consider creating a similar index. This would help showcase the scope of work and experiences of those of us who manage communities on a larger scale, making it easier for others around the world to understand our efforts.

Additionally, it would allow them to draw inspiration and ideas for planning activities within their own communities.

[TanvirAhmed05]

The Golden History. Thanks a lot @MahabubMunna brother. You are really awesome.

[Roman_Ahmmed]
