Computer literacy camp to teach 40 orphans on Gandhi Jayanthi! May more of us take inspiration from these youngsters!

On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanthi, a set of individuals joined hands to do something extraordinary. They decided to make a difference to the future generation of our country. As the Father of our nation has always quoted “Be the Change you want to make in the society”, these individuals believed that they could be the ones to initiate this change!

Technology has made today’s world a completely different place to live in, the foundation of which is laid forward by computers. Unfortunately India is far behind when it comes to computer literacy rate which is just about 7%. Owing to this reason our country is still in the race to level out with the developed nations. Knowing that one of the main reasons for this situation is poverty and lack of awareness, this team of youngsters gave a helping hand to those underprivileged children who lack the basic necessities of life.

On 2nd October, 2010 the students of “Anatha Sishu Nivasa” were lucky to get an insight into computer education in a whole new way. The team consisted of 35 youngsters who educated around 70 students accomplishing our mission of “Each One Teach Two”. The awareness camp began at 10.00 am when the students were waiting with all their enthusiasm to get their hands on computers. Equally awaiting were the associates to impart their knowledge to the children.

Using the power of network, 9 laptops were arranged for the camp. The students were divided in two batches while one batch was having a hands on session on the laptops the other batch were showcasing their talents. They were taught the basic hardware and operations of computers for 3 hours. At the end of the camp, the students were handed over certificates for the successful completion of their course.

The associates had an altogether different feeling during the camp. This was something many young people of the country wish to do but never end up doing it in reality. Indeed it was a small team to start with, but with big visions in their mind. Again quoting Mahatma Gandhi, “Whatever You Do Will Be Insignificant, But It Is Very Important That You Do It!”.

This is what they always believed in and are on their way to turning their vision into reality. By the end of the day, every child had a smiling face and eager eyes to know when this team will be visiting them again to make a big difference to their lives.

  1. Oh my god!!! Trust me an awewsome experience it was:):) feels so previleged to be a part of the organisation and specially to be a part of THE JOSH MACHINE SUJIT LALWANIJI'S Organisation ... Our parents love and care for us so much.. WE are too much lucky.. But everyone is not as fortunate as we are.. We had very good time with those kids.. WE just spent some time with them and poured little love.. You should have seen the happiness in those eyes.. The kind of satisfaction of accomplishing something in each one of us.. We have to sacrifice the stupid aversion towards doing something for our society..
    Now few people can say that that let's serve ourselves and then do something for the society.. For them i would say one thing, even we are doing the same.. If how is your question, my answer is enter our organisation and see yourself.. Again how, contact us..
    Thank u so much sir(SUJITJI), for giving us a chance to grow ourselves and also helping us to think big.. As u always say "chota sochna buri baat hein":):)
    Hapy good morning to all:):)

  2. It was an wonderful & a different experience altogether to teach 40 orphans...
    It was wonderful to see so many students had talent in them.. few could sing very well few could tell good stories etc..
    If we all encourage them & teach them different things & give them opportunities we can get lot of talents from these orphanages itself..
    We all got to realize that if 30 associates can make a difference to 40 orphans in 3hrs just think wht will happen when we add 0s behind to 30
    Lets all join hands together & make it bigger...
    Good morning
