This past weekend the North American Sikh Medical and Dental Association (NASMDA) held their 17th annual conference in San Diego, CA. The organization’s website provides a brief description:
Started in the summer of 1992 at Poncos, Pennsylvania, NASMDA has grown to an organization of over 1000 Sikh medical and dental professionals spread across North America. NASMDA strives to provide a platform for Sikh medical and dental professionals to network and interact with each other while promoting the ideals and the mission of Guru Nanak. The members of NASMDA have been actively involved with helping out and supporting various Sikh organizations, young medical students and physicians.[link]
NASMDA provides a platform for Sikhs of various ages to engage in medical exchanges as well as be briefed by various organizations that presented. Members of the Jakara Movement made one such presentation.
We have to admit that we were were showered with love and it was really the Guru’s Kirpa that our efforts were received with such kindness. Over $5,000 were collected to help continue to promote Sikhi in California. We hope to continue our relationship with NASMDA in the future. Together, we can inspire and be inspired. Together, we are the movement.
