Finally, we are on!

Last week was a roller coaster ride - electrical work, computer rentals, UPS, and all other essentials were put into place.

This week we stuck to our plan and started the 1st batch of our workshop 'GOLDEN SKILLS' on 2nd June. The 5-day workshop will cover basic computer & internet skills for elderly citizens.

We had advertised this workshop by placing a listing in the events column in The Times of India and The Hindu. And we were pretty impressed by the response we got from the senior citizens who wanted to join the workshop. The registrations are on for July now, as the June batches are full.

We have designed some posters for the workshop and here is mock-up of one of them:


The 1st batch has finished learning the basics of computers and now they are going to learn about the internet. The enthusiasm of the students is very impressive and their eagerness is very infectious:)

Hope to touch the lives of many more people in the future and share the knowledge that I have gathered from my many years of computer usage.
