Review for Mata Amritanandamayi Math, Kerala, , India
I am a letter writer for M.A. Center for the Circle of Love Inside. There are countless humanitarian programs with the M.A. Math but this is the one that I am involved in. We write to those who are incarcerated in prisons and provide spiritually uplifting letters. For many of these prisoners, we are their only contact with the outside world. Most have been abandoned by friends and family having no one to visit them or console them. Our group send birthday cards-and we continue to write to those who write back providing pictures and cards so that they can feel connected to people. This is the first catalyst to change. Many write back in amazement that we thought of them at all and took time to write them. Most suffer greatly from depression and loneliness. This program helps to uplift them and provide a catalyst to change from within. For many prisoners, their perspective of life and the world changes just due to this small act of writing. Imagine if we wrote to all prisoners in prison-how much change there might be in the prison population. Please endorse the Mata Amritanandamayi Math for this award. Their work to uplift others in this and multiple programs from helping Tsunami victims and Americans suffering from hunger is nothing short of amazing.
