Wounded soldiers given basic photography, computer training

From the Philippine News Agency (Mar 14): Wounded soldiers given basic photography, computer training

In line with its efforts to uplift the morale and welfare of its soldiers wounded in the battle field, the Philippine Army (PA) announced that it has conducted a two-week basic photography training cross-trained with basic computer literacy for troopers undergoing rehabilitation and treatment at the Army General Hospital in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.

Lt. Col. Noel Detoyato, PA spokesperson, said that this took place last March 2 to 13,where a total of 42 battle-wounded soldiers benefited from the training.

Under the basic photography training, the soldiers were taught equipment familiarization, and basic theories in photo and video production.

Detoyato said participants were also asked to do practical exercises.

He added that this training will prepare the soldiers for non-combat duties as photographer/videographer when they return to their respective units.

Meanwhile, the basic computer literacy training, which comprised Computer Fundamentals, MS Word, MS Excel, and MS PowerPoint, will equip the soldiers with the necessary knowledge and skills to assume office or administrative functions once they are completely healed.

Also, the training helps provide the non-medical aspect of the process of healing which will lead to their speedy recovery and mentally prepare them prior to their release from hospital confinement.
