Dilip's Story - creative writing

I started volunteering as a Digital Champion in my local library six months ago. It has been a very interesting and rewarding experience...

I have been helping someone use Microsoft Word to create documents, starting out out with very limited experience of using a keyboard or a mouse. Over the last few months she has been typing in her own poems into word documents and saving these onto a memory stick. She now comes weekly and starts typing in her poems, saves them and prints them.

The excitement on her face when she prints each poem is amazing and her enthusiasm and growing confidence is rewarding to see. Her plan is to publish a calendar and then write stories and eventually publish a book.

It is wonderful and inspiring to see her confidence improve on a weekly basis. It  makes my role as a digital champion extremely worthwhile.
