Dear Supporter,
This month saw the very exciting beginning of our new girl’s computer classes. This is something our base has been hoping to start up and with plenty of new volunteers on childcare and women’s empowerment we were finally able to do it.
A lot of Nepali children learn about computers but never have the opportunity to actually use one. Giving these girls the opportunity to get a head start with computers will hopefully help their chances in the long run in terms of getting better jobs or being able to access more information online. We started small with a few girls from our Conversation Club at local internet café. Now we have three classes; beginners, intermediate and advanced. The younger girl’s starting with mouse skills and the older girls are learning the basic on how to use the internet to search for information for school assignments.
With a new staff member on board, we have now been able to start working on a long-term plan with a curriculum including goals for each class to be achieving. So far the classes have been a huge success with all the girls attending regularly. Soon we hope to expand the classes to our Women’s English workshops and also give the boys on our childcare projects a go too!
Thank you for your ongoing support!
With Gratitude,
GVI-Nepal
