In order to improve the computer literacy of Indians, SINDA implemented
a new programme today which aims to provide training in basic
IT and the internet. The new programme , " Win IT" aims to improve
their basic computer and internet skills.
In the past, many local Indians who keen on learning about computers
were not sure where or how to go about learning the skill. Some
Indians were also unable to afford a personal computer and were
thus deprived of the opportunity to learn. This is the reason
for implementing "Win IT".
42 housewives, students and retirees and those from the Worker
Assistance Programme who had not had any experience with computers
will also participate in the programme .
"Win IT" programme consists of a 3 hour session which teaches
basic computer and internet. The cost is $15 per person and a
$30 for a family comprising parents and 2 children.
At least 200 families are expected to register for the programme
. More advanced lessons may be conducted at a later stage to accommodate
Indians who already have basic computer skills. All lessons will
be conducted in the computer labs in SINDA.
Should you know of any Indians families or neighbors, you may
inform them of this new programme . You can call the SINDA Helpline
at 1800-2954554.
