প্রিয় উইকিমিডিয়ানস,

COVID-19-এর দ্বিতীয় তরঙ্গ সারা দেশে পরিবর্তিত পরিস্থিতির কারণে আমরা সকলেই খুব কঠিন সময়ে মধ্যে দিয়ে চলেছি। তিক্ত এবং কঠোর সত্য যে আমরা অনেকেই ইতিমধ্যে আমাদের প্রিয়জন, ঘনিষ্ঠ বন্ধু, আত্মীয়স্বজন, প্রতিবেশীদের হারিয়ে ফেলেছি। আমাদের মধ্যে কেউ কেউ চাকরিহীন, ব্যবসায় ক্ষয়ক্ষতি, হাসপাতালে ভর্তির বিশাল ব্যয় ইত্যাদির কারণে অর্থনৈতিক সমস্যার মুখোমুখি হয়েছেন অথবা হচ্ছেন।

এই সঙ্কটের মাঝে ভারতে বসবাসকারী উইকিমিডিয়া স্বেচ্ছাসেবকদের সহযোগীতা জন্য একটি সমর্থন কর্মসূচি শুরু করা হয়েছে। এই প্রোগ্রামটি নিম্নলিখিত কর্ম্ম সমর্থন করবে -

  • টিকাকরণের ব্যয় সরূপ অর্থ প্রদান
  • COVID-19 সুরক্ষা কিট প্রেরণ
  • বিশেষজ্ঞদের পরামর্শদান

এই সমর্থনটি সেন্টার ফর ইন্টারনেট অ্যাণ্ড সোসাইটি অ্যাসেস টু নলেজ (CIS-A2K) পক্ষে থেকে প্রদান করা হবে। আজ অথবা আগামীকাল থেকে এই টিকাকরণের ব্যয় সরূপ অর্থ প্রদান করা হবে। COVID-19 সুরক্ষা কিট প্রদান বিভিন্ন যৌক্তিক কারণসমূহ উপর নির্ভর করে, তাই এই প্রেরণ পদ্ধতি এক সপ্তাহ বা তার বেশি সময়ের মধ্যে আরও সুসংহত হবে। দলটি প্রথমে সম্প্রদায়ের যাদের এই সাহায্য সব থেকে প্রথমে প্রয়োজন তাদের সমর্থন করার চেষ্টা করবে।

স্বেচ্ছাসেবীদের এই গুগল ফর্মটি পূরণ করার জন্য অনুরোধ করা হচ্ছে - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScYcjEeuT7vUxP3NJg7KfIiZaude9IXLyCagsDarTx11J4ymA/viewform

আপনি আপনার সম্প্রদায়ের, যে স্বেচ্ছাসেবকের সহায়তার আশু প্রয়োজন, তাদের এই ফর্মের মাধ্যমেও মনোনীত করতে পারেন বা সমর্থন দলকে সরাসরি মেইল করতে পারেন।

সহায়তা কর্মসূচি সম্পর্কে আরও বিশদ এখানে পেতে পারেন -

Your perspectives will be really helpful in making this resource useful. Any opinions, feedback or ideas that you share would be appreciated. You can give feedback through the short survey, MS Forum, talk page or email at leadershipworkinggroup@wikimedia.org. The review period closes on Sunday May 28, 2023.

Hello Anupamdutta73!

We are sending you this message as you have signed up as a general member of the West Bengal Wikimedians User Group. We would like to inform you that the user group has organized its 2024 Annual General Meeting of Representative Members yesterday at the Birla Industrial & Technological Museum, Kolkata. In this meeting, we have adopted revised bylaws based on the feedback and suggestions coming from our members (see changes) and selected 10 new Representative Members based on the objective criteria set in the bylaws with regards to their recent or overall online and offline contributions. A new Representative Committee has also been formed while replacing 3 out of 5 members, who have completed their full term tenure for this responsibility. The participants have also shared learning from the projects taken from previous year and shared plans about new projects which they are willing to take during this year on behalf of the user group. We are also introducing a mentorship program from this year, where willing general members can work together with our program leads in user group programs and learn from each other. So, stay tuned for more excitements!

Regards,
Bodhisattwa
