One of her friend brought her to HOPE Computer Training Institute. She was excited that she could learn Tally and spoken English free of cost. She learnt both the courses and has also enrolled herself in DTP.

She is a bright student and has been regular for all her classes. Her dream is to become a teacher one day and provide many students the opportunity to be educated.

She is really grateful for the support provided by the donors for learning Tally.

Thank you for helping Aarshita learn to use computers.

Aarshita hails from a conservative middle class family in Hyderabad, and is employed in Karvi Foundation as a tailoring instructor. Though she likes teaching young girls the tailoring trade, Aarshita’s heart is set on becoming a fashion designer. She, however, she could not explore that option, because all fashion designing courses require that students be familiar with using Computer Designing Software.

Aarshita came to know about the DELL Computer Training Center of HOPE through one of her students, and your donations enabled HOPE to enroll her in a computer training course.

Once she graduates, she can enroll in a Fashion Designing course, and learn the trade. Not  only will Aarshita be making more money as a fashion designer, she will also be doing what she truly loves. Thank you for helping her reach for her dreams.

Thank you for enabling Shailaja to undergo a computer training course.

Shailaja Terala is a Commerce graduate with a 6 year old daughter called Shresta. Her husband works in a private firm, and earns about Rs. 8,000 ($ 160) per month which is barely enough to meet the needs of the family. With her daughter having grown up, she wanted to get a job so she could supplement the family income.

Though she has an undergraduate degree in Commerce, jobs were hard to come by, since she did not have any computer skills. Your donation enabled HOPE Foundation to train her in the use of Tally, an accounting package, and she has already got a job as an accountant with Swaroop Jewellers. She hopes to be earning around $ 100 per month.

Thank you for your generosity.

P. Mahesh is 19 years old and is currently pursuing his undergraduate studies. His father, Chinna Venkataramulu, is a farmer who earns approximately $ 75 per month, and his mother, Eshwaramma, manages the household. Mahesh and his two brothers live at home with their family, where his father is the sole earning member.

Mahesh is very ambitious, and he wants a good job for himself- a job that would allow him to clear all the debts acquired by the family, and give them a good standard of living. Realizing that he cannot aspire to get a good job unless he is proficient in computer skills, he approached the Hope Foundation for admission into their computer course. Your donations, Sarah, Ted and Pam and Adam enabled Hope to enroll Mahesh in a three month computer course. He is looking forward to getting a good job soon after he graduates.

Thank you for giving new hope to Mahesh.
