In April 2006 Islam received
a portable computer from CCHARM.
The computer has very high specifications, which allow
Islam to write and to listen to scanned documents and
articles downloaded from the Internet.
Islam was very
excited with the gift: this sophisticated tool represents
a window to the world, allowing him
to improve his knowledge dramatically and to progress
in his studies.
We are extremely grateful to the teachers
of the School who took his case to heart and helped
with
the logistics
and information in order to buy this expensive
computer.
Summary
The objective:
To make the best use of technology
to help Islam communicate with the world
Duration:
COMPLETED
Progress:
We can claim that project “Islam” has
been concluded satisfactorily – Islam has attended
the Joseph Clarke School for the Visually Impaired
between 2005 and 2007 and obtained good GCSE grades
in Maths and English. In 2007 and 2008 he enrolled
in Enfield College to continue his studies in Maths
and English but had to postpone his exams because
of problems of attendance at the College due to lack
of transport. He is now continuing his studies in
Maths and preparing GCSE in Economics through the
Oxford Open Learning University and Islington College
of Education. He is the proud father of two baby
girls, Sophie and Aysha born in September 2008 and
March 2010. We are extremely proud of Islam and will
continue to watch over his family. His studies and
achievements were made possible thanks to the computer
equipment provided by Ccharm’s generous donours.
Control and accountability:
The project has been constantly
monitored by members of the Charity, by IT specialists,
by members of the school Islam is currently attending.
Cost of the project:
£ 5,000 fully financed
by donations
