This month we all are hosting an accessibility meet-up all around the world. Celebrating the above, Sri Lanka Local Guides are planning to make use of this opportunity to facilitate the differently-abled people with disability access in Sri Lanka. As the first session of this process, our team has identified a Non Profit organization who help disabled people in Sri Lanka in the Eastern Province, Sri Lanka after the civil war. With their support, we like to invite disabled people to attend this knowledge sharing session. In the Eastern province of Sri Lanka, many disabled people are not aware of this disability information from Google map, Local Guides connect. This knowledge sharing session will help the disabled people to search the relevant information before they visit. For instance, finding wheelchair access from a shop, a wide entrance way to carry big luggage, restrooms without elevators, places that have to be accessed only by stairs. The people working with differently able people have better knowledge on what is essential for the differently able people. Sharing the knowledge of us Local Guides with these type of constituents of the society is the best way to coll. after the session, we will be going on a Geowalk and answering questions where wheelchair accessible entrances exist, adding photos and information about everything on Google maps.
