We started our program on 11/23/2024 with an informative session on Digital literacy.

Digital literacy refers to the ability to effectively and critically navigate, evaluate, and create information using a range of digital technologies. In today’s world, digital literacy is not just about knowing how to use devices like smartphones or computers; it's about understanding and applying technology in an informed and ethical manner .

First session of this 2 part series addressed basics like

1.How to stay Connected and Safe Online
2.Cybersecurity
3.How to avoid misinformation and fake news

It was an incredible presentation by the young tech Savvy freshman students of St John’s school - Aadi , Ayan and David .

We all were truly impressed by there confidence and expertise on the subject .

All the topics were relevant to the needs and concerns of our audience .

After the session we had our potluck to celebrate upcoming Thanksgiving day . We had a huge spread of delectable foods both sweet and savory !! There was handvo, Dahi Bada , samosas, Lauki Halwa and gulab Jamun to name just a few of the dishes !

We all had a great time connecting with each other and enjoying the delicious food and masala Chai .

We then dived into our next session of “Kuch Dil Ne Kaha”

It was a great mix of songs and Bhajans and shayari . Our active and passionate humrahi members participated in it with full enthusiasm and vigor.

Another engaging and successful Humrahi get together .

We sang ,we connected,we enjoyed and had some bread together- what else could be a better way of celebrating Thanksgiving !!
