It is a great way to pass our times with amazing Local Guides during the Lockdown of maximum cities due to COVID-19 outbreaks Globally. We joined Virtually on the Google Meet platform to share our thoughts on the current situation to Stay home, stay safe and fight together against CoronaViras. We are Locked-down on our home but the Local Guides community makes us inspired to meet other fellows virtually to share hopes and good thinking.
We joined 50+ Local Guides where we had 100 RSVP confirmations. We planned for 03 hours online Meet-Up but it ended after 04 hours long. I think it would be one of the longest Local Guides Virtual Meet-Up right now. It was also a friendship Meet-Up between Bengali Local Guides of Bangladesh and India. We had a pre-planned AGENDA with a strong Speaker panel. The speaker panel was made with old-new Bangladeshi and Indian Local Guides and Connect Moderator.
Meet-Up RECAP:
There are a lot of topics we had discussed on the 4 hours long Virtual Meet Up with Bengali Local Guides. Letâs see some best topics that we had discussed.
Stay home, stay safe and fight together against CoronaViras

Guiding for the spam-free during the lockdown
Ideas for using our time during the lockdown: stay home, try to self-developing, try to joining online classes, Virtual Meet-Ups, stay with family and keep continue on the prayers.
How we can start contributing from home: Answering questions, Check the fact, Update pending contributions, checking your own profile to make spam-free and bringing quality.
