Onam, Picnic, Spring show…GRMA always comes up with great cultural activities that makes us feel we are not in Kerala.The effort done by the executive committee is much appreciated!!!

I was a student from Kerala, India and when I was planning to come to Kitchener heard about GRMA. I contacted the office bearers and they helped me to get settled here. GRMA made me feel I was at home.
Thanks GRMA for all the help!!!
