Yet another feather in TAMA’s (Telugu Association of Metro Atlanta) crown. A unique and jubilant Education Seminar conducted on Saturday, July 22nd at Sharon Community building, Cumming attracted over 200 enthusiastic students and parents.

As the attendance is way more than expected, organizers have to put a tarpaulin cover on the floor and requested students to sit down. Many people were standing too. Education is a vital constituent of our lives, this detailed seminar by a professional helped attendees in getting good insights and proper direction.

It is TAMA’s 16th program in 2023, 1st one after a brief Summer pause. Presenter Dr. Vani Gaddam’s interactive and informative talk was spellbound. Both students and parents were very much involved in the session, did not leave till the end, asked several questions and were happy with the responses.

Participants applauded TAMA for organizing such a wonderful seminar and appealed to do more and more. TAMA aims to do versatile, ‘beneficial for all Ages’ programs with supplemental focus on youth. Upcoming event is ‘TAMA Weekly Free Clinic Walk’ on August 13, followed by many other programs. Visit www.tama.org or send email to info@tama.org for more details.
