We believe computer literacy is not only a necessary but also a critical component. Because computer literacy is the pillar of a progressive and evolving nation, it deserves equal attention to food, shelter, and clothing. Given the growing demand for computers in all fields, we can include computer literacy in the basic needs because of the growing need for it in India.
In one of our computer centers, we trained eighteen students grade 7 to 11, from downtrodden areas in a basic computer courses and in English (the trade language of India). Our students come from the city slums. Some were without parents or living on street helping their families reclaim garbage and waste that they might be able to resell in some way. Our center enabled these children living in slum areas to receive an education they would have been denied otherwise and gives them hope for a different future.
Thank you for keeping us in your prayers as we continue to make education and computer learning more accessible.
