Shama is also a charitable organization providing in-country educational opportunities for children of the African island nation of Madagascar.
'Shama' means "light" in the Urdu and Arabic languages. 'Shama' also means "landmark" in Arabic. In Hebrew, the word 'shama' means 'knowledge', with several implications. The most basic meaning of 'shama' is "to hear intelligently". The word also implies acting on and being led by what is heard. 'Shama' knowledge, therefore, is not a passive accumulation of facts, but a vibrant understanding and corresponding course of action. (Reference: Shama Foundation )
