NANMA - President's Message
Dear friends,
First of all let me express my heartfelt thanks to all of you for entrusting me as the new NANMA president. But I cannot do it with out your support, suggestions, positive criticisms and help. I sincerely request everyone to work as a team in all matters and events. For the last two years, our founding president Mr. Jayachandran and the Executive Committee members worked hard to lay a very good foundation for NANMA. Our earlier IT coordinator Mr. Retish Senan was instrumental in obtaining a good website and Mr. Nitish Kamath is working to maintain it to the best. From our humble start with 35 members, we have grown to about 150 members today. So my special thanks go to all of you. During the last two years of our existence, we conducted two Onam celebrations in Oslo and one in Stavanger. Apart from that, we successfully conducted two Christmas programs in Oslo. We also had one summer camp in 2010. Of course, our regions are having their own get-togethers. Many members worked hard to make these events happen. NANMA stands for the betterment of our little community in Norway. We are keen to help the newcomers to this country. NANMA is highly committed to keep our culture alive in this part of the world and to encourage a harmonious growth of its members by helping each other. WISH YOU ALL HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS DAYS AHEAD. Mathew Pulimoottil
President
NANMA
