My Nonprofit Reviews

Today I listening to a recent BBC radio report and again it came up that when seeing an organization like this, some people misunderstand and are suspicious, they comment that it is like a slick business machine and makes so much money. So to set the record straight. Yes it is slick. It is slick because of all the hundreds of thousands of volunteers all over the world who are so inspired by the founder, Amma's selflessness and compassion in caring and serving the poor, suffering and in need, that they want to give their time, skills and energy to help for nothing in return. Many of these people like myself are professionals. This is unique in today's world, to have an organization on this scale that is run totally by volunteers. So there is no ciphering off of donations to pay wages, in fact donations increase in value as all the volunteers put in their time and skills. So rarely is anything done for good will alone in our society, and that is what makes the Mata Amritanandamayi Math so different and outstanding. It is hard to believe for some, but is proof that it is possible, and that there really is hope for the suffering and something really can be done.
