We kicked off yet another set of classes at SydWest Multicultural Services Inc (Formerly Blacktown Migrant Resource Centre). These classes will run between 12.30 and 2.30 every Thursday and is primarily for the Darfuri womens group at the centre.

Many of these women have come from rather difficult circumstances and in many cases, have limited literacy and numeracy skills. It will be a challenge to engage these women and provide them a useful learning experience. The first class however, did go rather well.

We covered basic computer parts, keyboard layout and mouse clicks. The students typed in their personal details on the computer and saved their work. Most of them seemed very happy with the class.

It was definitely the largest class I have taken till now but a really good one since the women seemed very enthusiastic and we built up a good rapport. Unfortunately, I failed to take a photograph during this class since I was too engrossed in juggling the 10 women.
