Besides the participants are also being trained on how to use the smart phones.
This has been an exciting journey for the participants. As many as 22 citizens are a part of the training programme.
While talking about the initiative, Vaseemul Rehman told The Pioneer, “My vision to begin this initiative was just to let the senior citizens who are in their second innings relive their childhood, enjoy their time to the fullest. Such initiative will explain what second innings really mean. ”
Elaborating further, Vaseem said that this will be an opportunity for the senior citizens to get to know what’s happening across the world. “I have seen that various programmes and vocational training courses are organised for people, especially for the youth. But there’s hardly any kind of vocational training is organised for senior citizens. This idea just struck my mind and I organised these classes.”
Such initiatives will be taken in future as well, he shared. The training classes will conclude on Thursday.
