Charity is an integral part of Tamil culture overseas, giving back to those who came before us. There
are many issues still going on where we can do something to make a difference. Being a member of
UCL Tamil society, with a large reach-we need to raise awareness about these issues,
especially for those who don’t know, and charity is a significantly overlooked sector. There are many
ways we can do charity work to help our Tamil community. The main ideas are holding events such
as games nights with donations to charities, and different fundraisers especially linked with sports
societies as it would be very fun. I have done some charity work with charities- to raise money for
great causes. Collaborating with amazing charities such as Nandri which helps to empower mothers
especially from impoverished regions would help too. Not only monetary value, but also educating
the youth on problems going on in Tamil Nadu and Eelam. Giving them the tools, to go out and make
a change for the betterment of the Tamil community. This would also trickle down and impact the
next generation on a large scale. Doing charity events allows increased engagement with our society
bringing us closer as a whole. I would use this role to expand our reach and try and make substantial
progression towards greatness of Tamils, hopefully also trying to find grants and other money to funnel support.I believe my previous experience and drive for the cause would make me a
perfect fit for this role.
