The slide show on Karnataka’s transportation was impressive. It included images and graphics that flowed seamlessly and a perfect English presentation that went along with it. But what was distinctive about this presentation was that the team behind it a group of young girls from an orphanage in Bangalore.
Thanks to 6-month computer course, these girls from U&I’s Learning Center, have some serious Power Point chops. The course, taught by U&I volunteers, covered MS Word, Excel and Power Point. As part of their graduation the girls got to present their final project to a panel of guests.
They were then awarded certificates of completion. And, of course, graduation hats which they got to throw up in the air much to their delight!
It was a proud moment for them - and for us at U&I. These girls now have the skills and the confidence to face some of the challenges that come their way. We've shown them that with hard work, you can dream big. They've shown us that although life circumstances may not be ideal, they can still "Excel" at what they do.
