CHARLOTTE: Student volunteers from the Telugu Association of North America (TANA) cleaned two adopted roads in south Charlotte, North Carolina, on Saturday, November 7. The drive, organised by TANA's Appalachian region, was the second phase of its 'Adopt a Street' programme and covered Ardrey Kell Road and Tom Short Road.
