Free membership, and an honest list of what it gets you
Some of this works today. Some is being built. We have marked which is which, because a list of promises is worth nothing.
What your membership does today
The member directory
Find a Pal family by city, country or profession — and let them find you. Behind a sign-in, never public, never sold.
Eighteen country guides
Researched guides to working and studying in Europe, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Free, and written without any agent’s commission behind them.
A straight answer when you ask
Send us a contract, an offer letter or a visa question and a committee member will give you an honest opinion. We take no commission from anyone.
Charter member standing
The first 1,000 families are recorded permanently as charter members, with a membership number and a say in how the samaj is set up.
A vote in how this is run
Members elect the Executive Committee and are told what is decided. This is a samaj, not a page someone runs.
First to know
Event dates, scholarship windows and committee news reach members before any public announcement.
What membership will get you, and when
Listed honestly, with the condition each one depends on.
Scholarship eligibility · 2027
Membership is the qualifying condition for the scholarship. Applications open once the fund holds real money and the education committee is seated.
Sammelan and regional meet-ups · when dates are set
Nothing is booked yet. The first national gathering follows the seating of the Executive Committee.
Matrimony · early access for members
A community-first matrimony service is planned. Members registering interest now will be invited first.
Welfare support · as the fund allows
Medical and hardship assistance for families in difficulty. This grows only as our own families contribute to it.
What we ask in return
Nothing financial. But a register is only as useful as the people willing to be found in it.
- Keep your directory entry current, so families can actually reach you.
- Answer if a member from our samaj contacts you with a genuine question.
- Invite the Pal families you know — this grows by word of mouth, not advertising.
- Tell us when we get something wrong.
Free, forever — and we mean it
No fee now, no fee later, no upgrade tier. Two minutes to join.
