March 2020 – NANMMA Canada

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers and Sisters,

We hope all of you are staying safe and keeping the spirit high.

The current situation due to the COVID-19 has impacted all of us, and many international students from our community in Canada are in dire need. With the current lockdown and closure of stores, many of them are without a job and struggling to meet their basic needs.

The government has announced emergency financial aids for its people, even for those who are not eligible for employment insurance. However, there is no support for the international students facing hardships due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Malayalee Muslim student organization in Canada (TLM) is conducting a fundraising to help its fellow students and request all community members to contribute and support. They are in the process of identifying students who need immediate help. As the first phase, they are planning to provide them with groceries, medicine, and hygiene supplies. Please open your hearts and support your fellow beings. Continue reading “NANMMA Supports Kerala Muslim Students Association in Canada for Helping Students, Impacted By COVID-19”

The NRD nomination process started on January 6th and ended on January 31st. It involved each nominee making their interest in executive positions and activities during the application. They were notified of a process in which the election commission in each country would prepare a panel based on their interests. The new NRDs were welcomed to contest the panel to have an election. Accordingly, the panel was proposed to the NRDs for review. The panel includes a deputed member from the NTC to guide the new executive team during the term. The proposed panel for each country was confirmed as the new executive team without any compelling challenges. Continue reading “Executive Team for 2020-2022 Term”
