Letter From Nidharshini Vengatajalapathy
Dear Sir/Madam,
2 Feb 2019
Toronto Tamil Chair
Yesterday my dad was talking to my mom that this generation is so lucky to study my language Tamil in the University of Toronto for which they are collecting funds. Nidharshini Vengatajalapathy

I was really impressed and told him that I would also like to contribute. So today I have borrowed one hundred dollars from my piggy bank and made my cheque ready to offer to the Tamil Chair. My dear friends, please let's join hands together to make this golden opportunity possible.

Music Director D. Imman honoured by the University of Toronto
In its history of 192 years, the University of Toronto celebrated for the first time the Tamil Heritage Month. “During this special time, we want to recognize the many contributions Tamil-Canadians have made in our society,” U of T Scarborough Principal and Vice President Dr. Wisdom Tettey told the audience. “It is with the unwavering support of this community that the University of Toronto, Scarborough is able to strengthen and be a leader in Tamil studies.”

Tamil Chair by D. Imman, the famous film composer, music director and singer in the Tamil film industry. In recognition of his services to Tamil and music, Dr. Wisdom presented an award to D.Imman.
“The one thing that unifies all of us right here is because we are all Tamils and for that I feel very proud,” Imman told the audience. In the night's feature event, a traditional Tamil performance art form was used to tell an epic tale. It was Villuppaattu, or bow-song, an ancient storytelling form in which a large bow strung with bells is struck to create music and story-telling. The story was based on the 'Legend of Ponnivala' published by Dr. Brenda Beck.
I have been following the crowd-funding efforts adopted by the global Tamil Diaspora towards achieving Harvard Tamil Chair. I was looking for a project where I can assist formation of a Tamil chair. The reason I chose Toronto is that the

largest North American Tamil community lives there. I have had a lot of respect for the University of Toronto. Moreover, I have observed the growth story of your vibrant Tamil community in just a short span of 3 decades. It is very important that we sustain Tamil language and culture across generations and I believe that Diaspora Tamils in Canada can definitely carry that mantle with enthusiasm and energy.

To establish the Toronto Tamil Chair, we need your help! By the end of June 2020, we need to raise 3 million dollars for the endowment funds to bring this initiative to life. With this in mind, we created Anbudan Thamil, an interactive fundraising project that anyone can get involved with!Here's how it works:» Host a dinner party, a get-together, potluck or meet at your favourite restaurant.» Gather a group of friends, family or acquaintances- the more the merrier!» Have a discussion about Tamil, what it means to you and the future of this beautiful and rich language» The goal of each event is to bring people together, spread awareness about the Toronto Tamil Chair and gather donations!» Challenge three of your attendees to continue the chain of hosting and spreading the Anbudan Thamil campaign to their friends/family.
