Aram Tamizh Palli started in 2016 with a goal to take our Tamizh language to the next generation. A group of volunteers from Westmont came forward to teach Tamizh to the kids of ARAM members one day in a week at a convenient location for all. Purpose of ARAM Tamizh Palli is to cultivate interest in the minds of kids to learn and speak our mother tongue.
