Review for Mata Amritanandamayi Math, Kerala, , India

Rating: 5 stars  

Amma is the greatest humanitarian of our times. This petite lady with her boundless love and selfless service has touched the hearts of millions of people across the globe from all walks of life. She came into my life in the year 2000 and has changed my whole attitude towards all those that are less fortunate than I am. Amma’s work speaks for itself. Here is a lady who comes from a small fishing community with very little education that has accomplished more in twenty years than many rich philanthropists and governments with a lot of resources have accomplished in many more years. I personally am involved with the Amrita Kuteeram -the charity started by Amma for helping provide homes and a livelihood for destitute women. Our Center in San Ramon has bake sales every week, the proceeds of which go towards this cause. Amma is a true living example of this famous quote by Mahatma Gandhi –“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

providing homes for destitute women; disaster relief after the Tsunami; healthcare for the poor

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

seeing the motivation and drive of other volunteers; the ability to do be able to contribute and feel like you are doing something that is meaningful even if you lack the necessary training and skill sets.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

AMAZING! Working tirelessly with total humility!

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

accomplish more than what 10 developed countries could do!

Ways to make it better...

if we had more resources

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

it is growing very big very soon - we need more manpower and more resources

One thing I'd also say is that...

Amma's organization definitely has made a big difference to the world!
