Masarat Daud, 26, talks about founding the 8 Day Academy, an initiative to bring stronger functional education to rural villages in India.
Since February 2009, Masarat has held three sessions of 8-Day Academy in Fatehpur, training teachers and students from a local school in Computers and in Public Speaking & Communication skills. After eight days of Computers training, the team was able to use MS Word, MS Paint and know the theory of computing. All this by people who had never seen a computer before!
