My Nonprofit Reviews

Through my involvement with the MA Math, I have learned that no work is insignificant. Whether it is distributing food and clothing to the poor, running AIMS, Amma's super-specialty hospital, or sweeping the floor or stacking chairs, every job is important and valued. What stands out about this organization is that Amma lives Her life as an example of selfless love and service, inspiring others to follow and thus spreading love and compassion through the hearts and hands of millions of people. There are two types of poverty in the world, Amma says, the poverty caused by a lack of material goods and the poverty caused by a lack of love and compassion. The second type needs to be adressed first, because if we have love and compassion in our hearts we will whole-heartedly strive to serve the poor and needy. Amma's organization is extra-effective in its charitable works because both of these types of poverty are addressed through a variety of programs. Another reason why this organization stands above all others in its positive impact on the world is that it is almost entirely run by volunteers. I used to give a monthly donation to an (unrelated)international child welfare program until I found out that the CEO was making hundreds of millions of dollars a year while the children they were striving to help were starving. This type of hiprocrisy does not exist in the MA Math. All the money received through donations goes towards those who are in need, and the sincere effort of the volunteers adds even more to it. I continue to be amazed and impressed with the work of this organization, and plan to devote as much time as possible volunteering with their efforts. May we all become lamps of love shedding light unto the world; may grace and peace help us to achieve this goal. Om Amriteswaryai Namah.
