Mahalakshmi, who is one of our students belonging to the first batch of our computer class at the Center, is from an impoverished family. Her father was initially an auto driver, while her mother does housekeeping and she has three other siblings. She has completed her education through tough financial situations. Her elder brother drives the auto now since her father is ill and cannot go for work. Her mother and her brother are the only bread winners for a family of seven. She joined our computer course in the month of May, 2022 and has successfully completed the 6-months course. Immediately, after the completion of the course, based on her computer skills, she got a job as a Data Specialist in a firm at Anna Salai, Chennai.
When we asked her about her course experience she said, "When I was studying in college, I was interested in going for computer classes and I asked in some places, but the fees was too high. After going to college, I could not go to the computer classes. Near my place we have a CHF Center, but I was unaware of the Center until recently when I was told about it. I inquired about the computer classes at CHF and joined six months ago.
People who want to learn but have difficulties, I think should join here, because I could learn very easily. Usually at other places when we have doubts they will teach us once or twice and the teachers are not usually amiable. But the teachers at CHF are very nice. If I am unable to understand a concept they are ever ready to teach me again. In other places they would teach us for one hour only, but here at CHF, they would spend extra time teaching me concepts that I found difficult to understand . We were taught shortcuts as well. I am very happy to say that I got a job immediately after my completion of the computer course."
