Dear Donors and supporters,
Greetings from IDEA !
We are happy to present a report on the recently started project to impart computer literacy to rural girls. Some young girls approached us and shown interest to learn basic computer literacy class along with English Language skills . In this rural area, there were no computer classes in many villages . The students had to travel 20 to 30 KM to join a computer class . Computer literacy is very important in every once life. Considering the need and interest we have started classes in our project office. A few High Schools in the area also requested us to start computer class for the students.
We started two batches – one for the undergraduate students and another one for the school going kids .
The class for the young girls were mainly focused on MS word, excel, power point, internet browsing etc in addition to English Language skills . Total 20 young girls attended this class. By the end of three months the girls developed very good skills especially in MS word. They were very happy to ‘create their CV ‘ by themselves . Earlier they were submitting ‘ hand- written’ application forms . The girls were oriented about the ‘ job recruitment portals ‘ and Social networking sites as well .They were amazed by the ‘power of net search ‘ to find out any required information. The girls were so happy that their teacher was also one among them . Their senior in their school !! So learning was a ' fun time' for these girls .
In the separate batch for the school kids ,our focus was to make them aware of the ‘ computer basics ‘ & ‘net search’ for additional information related to their school topics . These kids were operating a computer for the first time.
Thank you note from the girls .
On behalf of these girls we convey our sincere thanks to you for your donation to this project. We request for your continued support so that more needy & deserving children can be benefitted .
