ALOR STAR – The Communications and Digital Ministry plans to make the Darul Aitam Walmasakin Orphanage here the pioneer of a digital literacy education programme for orphans before it is expanded to other orphanages in the country.
Its minister Fahmi Fadzil said implementing the programme would involve the Digital Economy Centre (PEDi) with PEDi Digital Friends going to orphanages to hold classes for the orphans.
“We will get PEDi Seberang Terus to come (to Darul Aitam Walmasakin Orphanage) and see what can be done, what programmes are suitable (for the orphans),” he told reporters after stopping by for sahur (pre-dawn meal) with the orphans at the orphanage today.
He also presented Hari Raya clothing to the 42 orphans, as well as fans and television to the orphanage.
Elaborating on the digital literacy education programme at the orphanage, Fahmi said it is to prepare them to face the digital economy. – Bernama, March 30, 2023
