Computer Workshop - June 2011

Delighted to inform you that we just completed a 5 week computer workshop yday. Initially 56 children enrolled, however only 35 children completed the same (mainly as they left for their native towns).

The children were taught basics of word, tux paint, power point presentation and typing in hindi. On Saturdays the students were taught art techniques like etching, block painting, quilling and origamy.

5 students who had earlier done the workshop 2 yrs ago came in on Saturdays to brush up and learn Power Point. The students  were also shown films like Kung Fu Panda and Shark Tale which they enjoyed thoroughly. At the end of 5 weeks each child made their own power point presentation on their favourite story.

None of this would have been possible but for our sponsors, the BMC authorities, Rajiv Raut who taught and took care of all the technical aspects, and our young volunteers Abhijeet, Karan, Aaron,Mohena,Radhika, Lakshita, Shveta, Mikhail and  Mansi who gave of their valuable time and taught with passion and patience.
