Hello

On 9th April, 2024, a devastating fire tore through a vital community space in Colombes, Paris. This inferno engulfed 500m², leaving 25 Indian students without homes or possessions. Now, we're rallying together to provide the support they urgently need.

Thank you for your contributions! We've gathered over 30kg of items, thanks to everyone in Toulouse who pitched in. Following our talk with SAMA France in Paris, we're launching a crowdfunding link to aid students in rebuilding their lives. You'll receive a tax receipt for your contribution.
