COMMUNITY Tamil Nadu Foundation Houston chapter conducts literary contest for children Thirukkural, a collection of 1,330 couplets referred to as Kurals, written by Thiruvalluvar is literature that is treasured by the Tamils. This collection has been written more than 2,000 years ago. However, every verse of Thirukkural is relevant even today. In order to commemorate this divine literature and pass on the tradition to future generations, Tamil Nadu Foundation (TNF) Houston Chapter conducted a two day marathon of Kural recitation. Children between 5-18 years of age were encouraged to recite as many Kurals as they could along with its meaning. For each correct recitation, one got a prize money of $1.00. Parents who have been training their children for the recitation for a long time echoed a common sentiment that this generous gesture shown by TNF-Houston Chapter has encouraged their children to continue learning Kurals. Participants, not only from Houston, but other major areas including Sugar Land, Cypress, Katy, and Beaumont enthusiastically narrated their couplets. The oďŹƒce bearers of TNF- Houston chapter have been working tirelessly to host this event. Mala Gopal, long time Houstonian, is the President of the Houston chapter. “It is refreshing to see children at this tender age recite Kuralsâ€? she said. “I was enthralled to watch a ďŹ ve-year old participant narrate more than 430 kuralsâ€? she added. The top ďŹ ve participants in the list and mothers of toppers between the ages 5-13 and 13-18 will be honored on TNF-Houston’s Mothers’ Day celebrations. The two mothers will receive a customized saree with Thiruvalluvar’s image weaved within as a special prize. This event will be held on 5th May, at 3:00 pm at The Westchester Academy for International Studies, 901, Yorkchester Drive, Houston, Texas 77079. The entire team of TNF-Houston would like the support of the community to make this event a grand success.
