Around 150 children showcased their talents in the Children's Day 2007. Thanks to the parents and the children for putting in so much of effort in making the event a grand success. It is wonderful to see the children speak in mazalaith thamiz. It gives
us hope that the future generation will keep Tamil alive in the bay area.
