Urumpirai Makkal Ontriyam
Connected to our roots.
Urumpirai Makkal Ontriyam is an association of people from Urumpirai, Jaffna who live in Canada. Families from Urumpirai are spread across many Canadian cities. We exist so they can stay connected to each other and to the village, and so children born in Canada know where their families come from. Anyone from Urumpirai, or with family roots there, is welcome.
