00:00My name is Lakshmi Sailaja Jonadula. We are in California, Los Angeles. We have been living there for the past 16 years.
00:15We have come here to introduce our culture to our children.
00:26This is a fun time festival organized by Fun Times.
00:33We have attended all the Rangavallu competitions held yesterday.
00:38The children were very enthusiastic.
00:43This morning we had bogi, mantalu, haridasulu, gangireddulu.
00:49Our children participated in all the competitions and were very happy.
00:56I have brought my children here to introduce these events to the younger generation.
01:04Many NRI kids are not aware of the roots of this fast paced life.
01:13It is not easy to conduct all these live shows and introduce such a good program to them.
01:22I am very thankful to Fun Times for this.
01:27What kind of activities are you doing to teach them the Telugu language?
01:35There is an organization called Manabadi.
01:47Every Sunday, every 2 to 3 hours, NRI kids are taught to read, write and speak in Telugu.
02:00It is very difficult for the kids to speak in Telugu.
02:09It is very difficult for the kids to communicate with their teachers and friends.
02:15Through this organization, we try to teach the kids to speak in Telugu.
02:24I think this is very important for the kids.
