Thank you Austin Tamil Sangam!

Thank you Austin Tamil Sangam (ATS)

TNF would like to thank ATS and its members for generously donating funds for procuring Smart Boards for Coimbatore District ABC Schools. Our Austin chapter worked with ATS to make this happen. Several studies have determined that smart boards in classrooms raise test scores, improve learning experience, enhance literacy, boost attentiveness and increase comprehension. With the help of ATS, we will be deploying smart boards to four ABC schools and hope that it proves the studies true. 

We have worked with Kansas City, Indy, and Georgia Tamil Sangams among others on some key project initiatives in the past and we are grateful to ATS joining hands with TNF for empowering underserved government school students of Tamil Nadu. We hope this partnership continues to develop into other initiatives as well.
