Thev Theivendran stands as one of the finest human beings that St. John’s College Jaffna has ever produced. He is very well known among Tamils In Australia involved with charity work. Theivendran Anna, is a man defined by quiet leadership, unwavering commitment, and a deep sense of responsibility to those in need. In 2008, guided by a vision to harness the skills and generosity of the engineering community, he founded the Engineers Charity Fund (formally known as Tamil Engineers Foundation) What began as a small initiative grew steadily under his guidance and determination. In 2025, under his stewardship, the charity reached a major milestone: raising over $220,000 in a single year. I admire you for founding, being chairperson and running ECF for 17 years. I am fortunate to have known this ‘quiet achiever’ for the past 25 years. We will terribly miss you and the circulation of your ECF emails every Saturday early morning.
