Project Report | Sep 29, 2022
Never too Old to Learn!

By Sunita Rathod | Fundraising Manager

“Age is an issue of mind over matter, if you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” -Mark Twain

The following story amply illustrates the aforementioned proverb. The protagonist of this story is Pramila, 45. She has completed her SSC exam for the 10th grade with the Maharashtra Board. She has many goals in her life, despite the impression that she is timid. Despite being a member of a large family, she is solely in charge of all household tasks due to which she was unable to pursue her dream of working. Hence, she made the decision of staying at home to look after the needs of her family.

Three months ago, she started coming to OSCAR computer class to drop off her daughter. She would wait around for her daughter to finish her class. She was invited to join the computer class one day by the computer instructor because she eagerly watched and observed every computer session that was held. When she learned about the opportunity and the confidence that someone had in her, she was inspired to seize the moment and accept admission. Even though she is unable to work in an office, she claimed that in order to help and guide their children, even parents must have a basic understanding of computers.

She has always been a very hardworking and committed student. She picked up many new skills, including Kiran's and Tux's typing as well as MS Paint, Notepad, WordPad, MS Word, and MS Excel. Kiran's typing and MS-Paint were her two favourite subjects to study. She initially struggled to understand the fundamental ideas, but eventually she began to pick things up and learn things quickly. She was very active. She also found ways to help herself learn English, including Google Translator. She created PowerPoint presentations, a calendar in Microsoft Word, and an Excel budget for monthly expenses. She also learned how to access mail and maps on the Internet, which are now essential parts of modern life.
