My Nonprofit Reviews

I missed the Tsunami in India by a few days. By the time I got there Amma had already mobilized her volunteers to provide, shelter, food, clothing to those who had lost their homes. Amma herself had waded into the water and had directed people on what to do to help, immediately after the tsunami had subsided. Even more touching were the steady stream of people who had lost a loved one, a father,a husband, a child, coming to Amma for consolation. Amma and the other volunteers were there supporing the families when the mass cremations were performed. Later, to help the young children get over their fear of water, Amma and other volunteers taught swimming lessons to the children. Her ashram was turned into a huge childrens camp to give the children some joy a few weeks after the Tsunami . It is amazing to see the volunteers, inspired by Amma's service, do selfless service for long hours day after day. They receive no compensation except the joy of serving others as they have seen Amma do. I have seen this in India and the USA. The list of her service organizatioons go on and on. Hospitals,orphanges, schools, building houses for the poor and Tsunami and earthquake victims. I have worked along with thousands of volunteers, helping in many ways, when she comes to the USA twice a year, to make sure the people who come to see Her are fed, housed,and that their visit is comfortable. It is always the highlight of my year and I know countless others to be able to serve in whatever way grand or small. Amma's tireless service to others has inspired sooo many others to try to do the same, within the organizaion and in their private lives.
