SAMA Canada plans to start its activities with new projects hopefully in Q2 or Q3 of 2021. As you know we had to suspend our activities in 2020 due to ongoing pandemic.
Tu summarize, since we started we have invested over 13,000 CAD in 3 projects in Serbia:

Since our first fundraising in June this year, SAMA-Canada was focusing on finishing paper work with registration, opening bank account and obtaining charitable status with Canada Revenue Agency. Our next walk will take place on June 2 2018 and it will be advertised in Novine, a Toronto newspaper. In October our members supported Jovan Dučić organization during their annual gathering where they collect funds for purchasing the ambulance to be donated in Republika Srpska.
