WMF FRANCE FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN
As we are going through an unprecedented and difficult time due to the global pandemic, SAMA France, as announced earlier is engaged in helping the needy students and other Parisian Malayalis in distress, to provide them food and other relief materials. As we are a non-profit organization with limited resources, we would like to seek help from our Parisian fraternity to provide immediate relief to the needy. Hence, SAMA is initiating a campaign to help raise funds for this noble cause. Please contribute to the same.


WMf FRANCE BULLETIN NAMING CONTEST
As you are already aware, SAMA Bulletin will be transformed into a monthly journal, and this will include literary articles from Malayalees in France.
We would also like to announce a ‘Journal Naming Contest’ and the winning entry will be the future name of our online journal. Winner will receive exciting prizes.
Please submit your entry here or PM your suggestion to the committee members.

wmf FRANCE SUPPORT FOR "SAMAM"
COVID 19 has invoked a lot of despair, worry and stress around the world. This pandemic has certainly affected the livelihood of numerous performing artists worldwide.
Singers of Malayalam film industry have entertained, delighted, charmed and enthralled us for years, however, since the advent of the virus, innumerable artists are in distress.
SAMAM, Singers Association of Malayalam Movies, have initiated a fund raising campaign to support the helpless and needy fraternity of brilliant singers. Some of our prominent guests of the last few days like Mr Venugopal Gee, Mrs Jyotsna Radhakrishnan, have participated in live programs to raise funds for SAMAM.
SAMA France, at this juncture, extends their sincere support to the cause and would request all Malayalees in France to do their bit to support the great artists who have soothed, comforted and consoled us with their melodies for years.
MASKS FOR COVID - 19 RELIEF
As we plan to continue on with our non-quarantine life after the ‘lock down’ period concludes, on May 11th, ‘Masks’ will be an integral part of our life style. While wearing masks is not mandatory for most part of your day to day activities, it is widely recommended to use one, to avoid contracting the infamous virus. There is a pro-active plan introduced by government agencies to make these masks available to all legal residents of France/Paris. However, if one has not gotten hold of these masks yet, SAMA France has got you covered. SAMA France has now started distributing masks. We will be posting these masks on a first come-first serve basis.
Desperate times creates heroes, new avatars and angels. We have one such Samaritan among st us and her name is Shanti Valuparambil. Mrs Shanti has made a conscientious and heart warming effort to donate her time to create masks for the Malayalees in France.


FRAUD ALERT - AVOID THESE GROUPS
We would like to spread awareness that, although this sounds promising and tempting, these short cuts must be ideally avoided and this path should not be taken to plan your future and this could probably land you in trouble. These fake agents could send you a private message with promises they cannot fulfill. Please note that, in case such groups/marketers target you, this is definitely not with the knowledge of our committee or administrators
