GENERAL SANTOS CITY, March 14 (PIA) -- The City Government’s SHEEP-Computer Literacy Program (SHEEP-CLP) intensified its technology training for senior citizens here by making it a whole year continuous activity. | |||
SHEEP-CLP head, Percival Pasuelo said the free trainings will be offered until December this year after Mayor Darlene Antonino-Custodio personally witnessed the successful outcome of the hands-on training on “Basic Computer Operation and Facebook” last December 22, 2011. | |||
Since then, Pasuelo said, they received more request for trainings from the Office of the Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA) as more lolo and lola wanted to be called “senior netizens” and undergo the same “unique rest and recreation experience through the power of technology.” | |||
According to OSCA Chairman, Jacinto Gutang the city has a population of at least thirty thousand senior citizens, but only more than eight thousand are active due to illnesses and other old age problems. | |||
He said they are very grateful to the City Mayor for conducting the said technology training to make a difference in the lives of the senior citizens who are now in what he described as the “pre departure area” . | |||
Gutang explained that majority of senior citizens who learned how to use facebook were very happy for keeping in touch with the world and being involved in an experience they have never enjoyed when they were young. | |||
“We are glad that we have an alternative way to spend our free time to keep our minds occupied and productive,” he said. | |||
Meanwhile, Pasuelo said that the SHEEP-CLP is targeting at least 100 trainee-participants to complete the training course this coming May 2012. They are also planning to introduce web blogging for participants who are willing to undergo more level-up trainings. | |||
