Keeping Our Seniors Digitally Included

A group of 12 Sunehri Saheliaan and Sunehray Pal members have been keeping themselves busy by signing up for a smartphone class, which spans over 12 weeks.

The class was initiated by our ardent eldercare volunteer, Mdm Charanjeet Kaur. The first two classes commenced on 3 August 2020 and the last class will take place in the third week of October.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, each class is presently limited to only 12 participants.

In view of our members’ overwhelming response to the first two classes, Mdm Charanjeet scheduled two more, which started on 11 August 2020. They will come to an end in early November.

Each session is conducted over two hours for the 12-week duration. Below is an outline of the topics covered in each session.

Mdm Charanjeet said, “The devotion our participants showed in learning new things was truly inspiring. Our participants keenly took notes for self-study.”

One of the participants, Mdm Lakdev Kaur, shared, “We understand a lot more about smartphones today. Teachers are good as they explain very clearly.”

Judging from the initial course participants’ enthusiastic feedback, our passionate volunteer intends to organise future classes on similar topics.

Mdm Charanjeet is waiting for clearance for classes to be held at a larger venue in the future, when some of the Covid-19 restrictions ease in Phase 3.
