This is a moment to give thanks to Almighty Allah.
As a matter of fact, these students had no prior access to computers. For the first time in their lives, they had the opportunity to work on one in the Al Birr Foundation's computer lab. They repeatedly mentioned that their previous education had been purely theoretical; they had never used a computer, either at school or at home.
At the Institute, they finally gained hands-on, practical experience. This batch learned essential skills in MS Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. We dedicated a significant amount of time to Excel, as it provides a crucial foundation for their upcoming software training. They were also introduced to SEO, a valuable skill for starting to earn online. Overall, it was a rewarding and exciting experience for both the teachers and the students.
In their Tarbiyah (character building) class, the students received essential instruction on good moral conduct, respecting parents, and the importance of Namaz (prayer). As these students are entering adulthood, the class also covered certain compulsory Islamic rulings, which were key elements of their guidance. These were indispensable lessons on topics they had little to no knowledge of before arriving at the Al Birr Foundation.
