KAW Malayalam Class Testimonial from a child's parent: My son Amrit has been in the Malayalam class this year. I would like to add that we have been more than pleased with the impact the class has had on him. We had been frustrated in the past, always fighting his resistance to even try to speak in Malayalam. The class appears to have been exactly what we needed to break him out of his shell. Yesterday he had a 20 minute conversation completely in Malayalam with his grandmother - quite a thrill for everyone. Thanks for setting up the class, and for all your hard work and enthusiasm.

-- Sincerely, Ajita Gopikrishnan.
