In the news - 4
It's very heartening to see the response being generated for our Golden Skills workshop for senior citizens. It is slowly gaining popularity among the masses and we are realising that now we have a reputation to keep upto.
Our workshop got featured in the Tamil weekly magazine Puthiya Thalaimurai on Aug 26, 2010. A heart-filled thanks to the publication's Jennifer Daniels for the beautiful write-up. Here is the article below. As a designer, I can't help but notice that it is a beautifully designed page. People have been calling from all over Tamilnadu and congratulating our venture. It's very heart-warming indeed!
Now to the more mundane aspects of life - we are still hunting for a new office space. The deadline to vacate the present premises is Sep 30th and we are yet to find a suitable place. We are hoping and praying to find a solution very soon. It's become quite a challenge because we are looking for a ground / first floor only so that it is easy for the senior citizens to attend the classes. But if it is a high-rise then the lift should be in good working condition. So, we are keeping our fingers crossed....

Love unlimited
It struck me that yesterday was Friday the 13th and we finished our 13th batch yesterday:) Just a coincidence? Maybe ....because it was a very nice day for us at Golden Skills, not the usual unlucky day as believed widely.
There was so much love from our students...unbelievable! They showered us with gifts, sweets and lots of blesings! And so have all our previous batches. Love definitely from all of them, gifts and sweets - from a few of them.
Every participant is enthusiastic because they are so glad someone is taking the pains to teach them computers. They are so thankful that we have taught them something which their own children and grandchildren don't have the time to teach. That is the common complaint that I have heard from most of the participants. They are either too scared to touch computers or no one at home bothers to teach them.
Heartfelt thanks to each one of my students for choosing Golden Skills! Really, it means a lot to us to take this opportunity to make some difference in their lives and see their smiles at the end of each day's class. When we say goodbye on the last day we feel very sad that they have finished their workshop. But we look forward to the new batch, eager to meet more such kind-hearted, loving people.
Keep coming because you keep us going:)
