This post is from Thana, an Iraqi colleague who has shared in several training programs run by Simmons. She is currently in Chennai (formerly called Madras), India on a six-week training program. She writes:

We keep progressing in MS front page for making web pages – much practice needed. Wednesday, November 5th was the last lecture in this subject, but practicing didn?t end yet, and we will work on our front page and our lecturer, Mr. Malliga, will check it. Also, Mr. Shanmughaneethi will give us more information about HTML?and he will check what we did.

Wednesday afternoon we went to visit the Central Library at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras. This library site is in a big green forest, it’s a natural green forest so we saw amazing big trees. There are many institutes close to this library.
