In association with the Women’s Forum, a subsidiary wing of the Wiltshire Malayalee Association in collaboration with the Malayalam Mission UK Chapter, Malayalees in and around Swindon came together to start the Malayalam school called AksharaCheppu with the aim of enabling their future generations of children to write, read and speak the Malayalam language properly.

C.A. Joseph, President of Malayalam Mission UK Chapter and a member of Loka Kerala Sabha, inaugurated the Aksharacheppu Malayalam School by lighting the lamp in front of a packed audience including children, teachers and parents. “In order to spread our language, culture and heritage to the coming generations, the Wiltshire Malayalee Association is providing a model, inspiration and a different perspective to other Malayalee organizations and communities by providing a Malayalam class called Aksharacheppu along with a chess training that inspires the intellectual development of children,” Joseph said.

Princemon Mathew, president of Wiltshire Malayalee Association and patron of Aksharacheppu Malayalam School, presided over the function. Malayalee parents living in foreign countries have inherited and have always had an important place in their lives.

In his presidential address, Princemon Mathew, president of the Association, highlighted that the Wiltshire Malayalee Association has undertaken and implemented a great moral responsibility to make the mother tongue available to their children and that this initiative should have the cooperation and encouragement of all Malayalee family members in Swindon and nearby areas.
