The Story So Far
NASSCOM Foundation who has been a flag bearer for overall digital literacy across the country, having trained over 90,000 people has partnered with HelpAge India to help this cause and are looking for volunteers who can give a small part of their weekends to help our senior citizens become Digitally Literate and connect them with the Online World. HelpAge therefore conducts Digital Literacy Sessions for elders, working with Senior Citizens Associations across the country. For this purpose it has also released a Handbook titled ‘EASY GUIDE: How to use Smartphones and Computers’. HelpAge uses young volunteers to teach elders how to use Smart Phones, Computers & the internet. These Digital Literacy Sessions hope to go a long way in helping our elders live independently.

The change I would like to bring
in those people who put their parents in old age homes or left them to live alone and miserable in their old days.

Smiled crossed by me when I saw
a bunch of old people are laughing and enjoying the moment and not worrying about the upcoming outcome. One should always be like this

Smiled crossed by me when I saw
my aunt’s use google maps to find directions to a place just a day after I had taught them how to use it.

The change I would like to bring
is to educate as many seniors as I can about technology that can better their lives and make them independent and self reliant!

The lesson I learned here
is that seniors make the best students! They just need to be taught patiently, with respect and encouraged!

Spare some time out to empower elders who hv set foundation stone of our lives, feel dated in this Digital World. Help them use Smartphones.
