I am Namita khemka, a level 7 local guide. I came across this program about two years ago.
what local guide program means to me :
- Local person who can Guide
- Local person who can make you Understand
- Local person who can Inform you
- Local person who can Direct you
- Local person who can Educate you
Local guide program gave me :
- My identity from a homemaker to a confident and a passionate google local guide
- Discover my passion of photography
- Travelling and exploring new places
- Sharing my experience of exploring any place
- Making new friends and pals
- To know various cultures, heritage, language and eating habits
- Turn out to be a good listener, watcher and a critic
- Share happiness

I share and generalise all my reviews and experience of visiting any place so to help viewers in various ways.
For example :
My review of visiting kishangopal Rajpuriya vanprasth ashram, an old age home, in Uttan (Bhayandar west) moved many people and families to contribute whole heartedly for those old aged and destitute people in that ashram.

My effort of adding R.T.O office Bhiwandi (Thane district) in Google maps must have helped many others to reach there without any hardship.
Also, I added a village and a POND which was very old and ancient in google maps in Bihar state of India, to bring some happiness to my house help.

Local guide program has now become my passion and I will keep contributing on google maps to help others. Thank you Google for helping us in many ways and giving me this opportunity.
