*🌟 Columbus Tamil Sangam - Youth Committee Volunteer Spotlight! 🌟*

Vanakkam CTS Family!

We are delighted to share the success of our Youth Committee's volunteer event at the **Mid-Ohio Food Collective (MOFC) on April 18th**!

Our young leaders stepped up to serve the community with energy, passion and professionalism. Here is a quick look at the impact they made:
🔹 12 dedicated CTS youth volunteers served 300+ families at the MOFC Marketplace
🔹 Our team was everywhere, handling the cash registry, managing retail lanes, distributing food, and coordinating both indoor and outdoor cart logistics.
🔹 Our volunteers truly put their skills to use, even providing **Spanish translation support** to the diverse families.

It was great to see our youth interact with customers from all walks of life with such respect and efficiency. MOFC volunteer coordinator called out on how our YC members responded with agility and speed. The whole activity went seamless.

A huge shoutout to our volunteers for representing Columbus Tamil Sangam through their service.
Let’s continue to encourage our next generation to lead with compassion!

Thanks,
Columbus Tamil Sangam!

Dear Participants and Families,

Thank you for making the CTS Thirukural & Aathichudi Competition a wonderful success!

It was truly heartwarming to see over 80 children participate with such enthusiasm, confidence, and love for Tamil literature . Each recitation reflected dedication, practice, and a deep cultural connection—making the event both meaningful and inspiring for everyone present.

A sincere THANK YOU to all our young participants—you made us incredibly proud 👏. Your efforts in learning and presenting Thirukural and Aathichudi so beautifully are truly commendable.

💰 *CTS distributed Total prize money of $1,632.25*

We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our *sponsors* for their support and encouragement. Together, this made it possible to recognize and reward the efforts of our children.
