Computer Class @ SAS
Ms Linda Clarke has lived in Singapore for 28 years. Besides teaching at Singapore American School, she is also involved in social outreach projects. She started a social outreach project (computer class) for Philippino migrant workers 4 years ago.
Last year, she observed that some of the SAS housekeepers did not have access to computers and this prompted her to organize a five afternoon ‘Basic Computer’ class from 20-24 December 2004. A total of 23 housekeepers attended the class.
Linda and her team of dedicated assistants: Christine Garten, Kavanaugh Livingston, Grace Chang and Hye Jin Kim trained the housekeepers starting from the very basics like logging into the computer and using a mouse to daily office work like word processing, email and Internet web browsing. Although most of the housekeepers were computer illiterate, they learned just as well as any other people! In fact their enthusiasm to learn was noted by Linda, “They had so much enthusiasm that they didn’t even want to go for their break!” |
