President's Remarks

Dear TNF Family,

🍲🌍 Village Cooking Channel Visits TNF Chapters
As summer winds down and children return to school, we are reminded of the power of learning and the responsibility we share in nurturing the next generation. At TNF, one of our core missions is to support education — from providing help for slow learners to awarding scholarships for deserving students.

The famous Village Cooking Channel (VCC), with millions of YouTube followers worldwide, is visiting 9 TNF chapters across the U.S. Their guiding principle is simple yet profound — they never accept money; instead, they cook and feed the hungry.

At TNF USA, we are proud to be a 100% volunteer-driven organization, dedicated to serving the underprivileged and underserved in Tamil Nadu. Where VCC feeds the hungry stomach, TNF feeds the hungry mind through education.

This alignment of missions makes VCC’s visit a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness about TNF and the work we do. We invite you to join one of these events and support TNF through VCC — an experience sure to nourish your stomach, heart, and soul.

🚗⚡ Detroit is Getting Ready!

Meanwhile, in the Motor City, our Detroit team is already preparing to host the 52nd Annual TNF Convention during Memorial Day Weekend 2026. They are revving up their engines like the ICE classics and pre-heating their batteries like today’s electrics — getting ready to welcome you to an unforgettable celebration of service, culture, and community.

Together, let us continue to strengthen TNF’s mission and make a lasting difference.

With gratitude,
Mani Periakaruppan
President, Tamil Nadu Foundation USA
