Beginning Computer Literacy Classes

By: Sathvika Ramachandran

This past week, we officially began the computer and literacy classes for the refugees at Los Arcos. I was honestly surprised that the students regularly showed up and came to class. In the past weeks, the students have been coming irregularly, so it was fantastic to see refugees I’ve never seen at my time in Los Arcos at the class. The students were extremely engaged and attentive. I worked with one boy who was deaf in one ear, and it was inspiring to see him try so hard to repeat English phrases. He was seemingly frustrated about not being able to repeat some of the phrases, but me sitting next to him and encouraging him motivated him to continue on with the program. The computer classes are fantastic, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see the students learning so much through this.
