Planning Basic Computer Education in Solapur(my hometown)

Saibaba Chowk,where i grown up and completed my entire education. My mom and brother still stays there. It is poor people area(you can say labour) and they hardly earn Rs. 300 to Rs.700 per week. No parents in this area want to spend much on their children education and it becomes very difficult to one even he/she want to continue education.

I am planning to provide basic computer education to all children in my area from 1st May to 31st May 2012. I want to provide this basic education right from playgroup children to graduate student. I am planning to get Computers on rent basis for one month with the help of some of my local friends. I am in search of tutors..rather volunteers :-) to teach these children.

My main objective of this activity is to increase awareness about education among children and parents. I would like to meet every parent and convence about significance of education for their children.
