Review for Mata Amritanandamayi Math, Kerala, , India

Rating: 5 stars  

Under the umbrella of this organization, I've gotten to do things I wouldn't normlly have beem able to. I helped run a bookstore, helped organize special events, led programs, helped a paralyzed woman and got to know her life well, served food to the homeless, and driven vans in NYC. In most cases you don't need to be ceritfied in anything in order to help: you just have to be willing. I feel the organization uses resources, both human and material, better than any other organization I've known. It brings out people's potential, both the helped and the helpers. I would recomnmend it as transformative in all respects.

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

the surprises along the way. You never know quite what to expect. It's never same old, same old. It's well- organized and yet chaotic in a creative way at the same time.

Ways to make it better...

I had exercised more discrimination. I got closely involved with a relatively bad apple in the organization. Every organization has them I guess.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every month
