July 2010 Report

Ramesh Sharma - Trainer, taking a Computer class for school
 students at Shri Sultan Govt Sr Sec. School - Computer Lab.

This month's exciting event was teaching computers – MS office to the 8th 9th  & 10th grade student & interactive competency skills training through Azim Premji Foundation (APF) CDs  to 6th  & 7th grade students of Govt. School Maderna colony, Jodhpur.

In July 2010, 46 youth are learning DCA - MS office skill at Pali Computer training center. We had to shift the morning youth batches to afternoon because the school had started after the summer vacation. Our priority is to provide computer education to the school students during the school hours, this resulted in dropout of 16 youth students as they were not able to continue the batch in the afternoon. We will continually follow up to help them complete the course.

SWATI SINGH – Refreshed HOPE

Swati Singh with Ramesh Sharma - HOPE Training Center Pali


At 16, Swati Singh was forced to leave her studies to get married. Unfortunately, she got divorced after three months of marriage. Swati went into depression due to the events in her life. Later, she joined back her studies and recently passed her 12th through distance education. Now Swati works as a teacher in a local school.  She heard about the HOPE computer training center through her friends. She enrolled herself for spoken English training and computer skills. These skills will help her in getting better paying job to support her family. Swati is very grateful and desires to complete the course this month. - Ramesh Sharma - Trainer, Pali

LEELA - An Opportunistic

Leela at the Summer Camp
Leela lives in a joint family. Leela’s in laws are very restrictive of her going out. Though a graduate, she had to convince them to join the summer camp to learn tailoring course offered by other NGO. As she came to learn these skills, she learnt about the HOPE computer training center (Pali) and enrolled for Computer and spoken English course.
