We Remember poems written by kids to mark Tamil National Heroes Day 2024

Around a hundred British Tamil children sent in their poems for the 'We Remember' poem initiative to mark Tamil National Heroes Day 2024.

Children were encouraged to write a poem and illustrate their words.


The best poets were invited to the Pongal in Westminster event in January 2025 where they received certificates and a kaarthigai flower from senior British politicians.
