CRITERIA FOR MEMBERSHIP
TBW provides the vehicle to drive its core values forward in everything we do, and the key to the TBW network is the thread of Tamil ethos. Membership criteria rest on just one fundamental tenet: those who want to join or be part of the progression must be aligned with or align themselves with the ethos of TBW. While the name of the organization makes reference to a Tamil identity, there is no restriction or linguistic limitation to becoming a member. Furthermore, in no way does TBW promote any bias against any particular religious or political organization. We do, however, remain firm and astute in our stance on uplifting the Tamil community economically. TBW offers to subsidize those who cannot afford the membership fees with valid reasoning.
