Hello Local Guides,
As a part of advocacy,
#OneAccessibility, and team member of the campaign, we always try to find out and add Accessibile to Google maps, and help thousands of people indirectly, who are searching for the place where they can access easily. Specially those people who use 
wheelchairs or the people who have different abilities.
Here is the recap of our Let’s help thousands in Karachi walk, which was a great learning session for me and my fellow local guides.
Firstly I want to say thanks to Local Guides Community, because I always thankful to you that you are not making world a better place but you are changing the people, from normal person to a thoughtful person.
We planned for an Accessibility and map editing walk at Allama Shabbir Ahmed Usmani road on my birthday 15th January , because I want to make my Birthday special with doing some meaningful work.
I reached there before 15 minutes of starting our walk.
There I meet my fellow local guides @SharjeelS and Abdul Raheem @ujjan , who specially came there from far away to attend the Accessibility walk.
We started from from of Disco bakery, there are dozens of electronic shops, and we realize that half of the businesses are not showing in Google maps.
One more thing we feel there, mostly shop haven’t any Accessible Ramp for wheelchairs but steps before Thier entrances.
We started to upload new places on Google maps, along with all necessary informations about Accessibility and uploaded pictures as well.
In between many shop owners felt curious that what we are doing and why, but when they know what we are doing they said thanks to us and gave us contact informations to upload on Google maps.
Taking advantage of the situation we asked the people , “what if someone cannot enter your shop due to no available steps or no accessible ramp?”
And almost all people answered same, “we never think about it, and that is first time we are feeling that this is very important issue, how a person feel when he/she want to buy anything from that place by himself/herself but they can’t enter there.”
We already got the benefits of this walk as we approached only a few people. The approached ones were compelled to think about being the hand of the ones who had none, also being the eyes of the blind and being the legs of those who had none.
We added around 19 new businesses there totally, but the main cause was aware people about Accessibility, and we were successful in it.
And that wonderful evening was ended with a nice dinner of fried chicken and chicken chatni Roll, which was a treat by my friends Ujjan and Sharjeel for my Birthday,
Thank you my friends you made my day very special with your participation in Accessibility & map editing walk.
Here is some pictures in album, because of dark, we didn’t took many pictures, but still these pictures are helpful for the people who are using Google maps to reach these new businesses.
