Karavan Online-Classroom
IntroductionA ship container transformed into a cyberstation, equipped with 4 computers is what The Karavan Online-Classroom developed by KaravanPakistan is all about. It is within this microcosm that a window to the 21st century is opened for children from government schools in low income areas. The Karavan Online-Classroom has successfully toured two government schools in Karachi and implemented its course which includes a one month English Language Refresher course, through which children are taught about heritage and followed by 2 months of a computer course. The first school was Rashid Minhas School and the second was KPT (Karachi Port Trust) School. To maintain the computer skills acquired by the children in this course, Karavan Pakistan has established an Online Club, initially at Rashid Minhas; the second will be setup at KPT School. It is via these efforts of KaravanPakistan that we hope to develop productive members at all levels in society who are in sync with the rest of the world.
