Tamil Classes offered through UTSG TSA Friday afternoons beginning on January 21, 2011

We would like to inform you that UTSG TSA will be hosting Tamil Classes once again this winter break! As the years go by, the number of Tamil youth that are able to speak Tamil seems to be declining. In today’s circumstances and in such diverse environments, not everyone is given the opportunity to learn and practice the Tamil language. As a Tamil Students’ Association, it is our responsibility to take the initiative in preserving and promoting our culture and our language. If we do not take such action, who will? We cannot afford to lose our language; a language that has been praised and greatly valued for its richness and vast history.

Maveerar Naal 2010

November, a month of great importance in the lives of Tamils; a month to commemorate our martyrs and their selfless sacrifices; a month to rise, in solidarity, to bring life to the dreams of our martyrs. During the month of November, many events took place across Canada, in remembrance of our heroes. Numerous events were organized and hosted by Tamil students from various institutions, to commemorate our heroes as well as educate the non-Tamil students at their respective institutions about our struggle.

“There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children.”

After years of conflict, the North and Eastern parts of Sri Lanka has left behind many children who have lost their families. Many children have been abandoned, and made homeless. They are not receiving proper education, adequate shelter, food, clothing and medical care, which everyone has the right to be entitled to (Article 25, Universal Declaration of Human Rights).

UN Panel Submission

The UN Panel of experts are now accepting submissions that contain information on alleged violation of International Human Rights and Humanitarian Law during the final stages of conflict in Sri Lanka.
