About Harrow Tamil School Association (HTSA) - எம்மைப்பற்றி
Harrow Tamil School Association (HTSA) was founded in 1987 by late Mr. Elampoornam. HTSA is a non-political, non-profitable secular, cultural, educational and artistic organization for the Tamils and others who are interested in our culture and tradition. We are an independent association and we would like to proclaim that we have absolutely no allegiance to any particular race, religion, country or political organisation. While Harrow Tamil School Association actively supports and encourages cultural and social integration, concurrently, the HTSA accentuates that our children should understand, learn and preserve our rich heritage and tradition of our Dravidian values, Tamil culture and language. HTSA endeavours hard through its various cultural and social activities to sustain our uniqueness. New admissions of the Association are open to all people living in the United Kingdom regardless of their origins. We are united by the Tamil language, culture and values reaching beyond the boundaries of nationalities and countries. We also welcome anyone with open arms who is interested in Tamil language and culture.
