For Christina Ntaliani, the great reward is watching the joy on her elderly students’ faces when they receive their first response from a grandchild to their first message that they successfully sent on their smart phones.
“It is exciting when we do a lesson and I tell them to send a message to a loved one. When they receive that first reply, their faces light up with joy,” Ms Ntaliani said.
“Often the young ones will not pick up the phone, but they will respond to a message. In this way the elderly are able to become a part of their children’s and grandchildren’s lives and can follow them through social media platforms,” she said.
