Review for Mata Amritanandamayi Math, Kerala, , India
Since 1997, I have been an active volunteer for MA Math - both in India and here in the United States. I have experienced first-hand the MATH's ability to respond quickly, efficiently, and with compassion to disasters such as the 2004 Asian Tsunami. I personally coordinated 100s of volunteers who traveled to the MATH's headquarters in India in response to the Tsunami - helping cook and distribute rice to homeless villagers and government aid workers during the subsequent rebuilding and clean up months, and moving building materials to sites where the MATH was constructing 100s of new homes. The inspiration that the MATH has given to these volunteers from around the globe is immeasurable. I have also seen the looks of hope in the eyes of hundreds of underprivileged women who descend upon the MATH each month to receive a monthly stipend, as well as the joy of 1000s of children from all over the country who attend the 40+ education institutions run by the MATH - many who receive education stipends to help ease the burden of families in suicide-ridden farming villages. The list is endless... Last but not least, MA MATH has inspired dozens of soup kitchens throughout the United States. While living in New York, I helped coordinate the monthly soup kitchen which still serves well over 200 sumptuous meals to needed people. Today, I help coordinate activities at MA MATH's US headquarters in San Ramon, California.
