My Nonprofit Reviews

i first met Amma in 1998 and became aware of her charitable work at that time - it was quickly evident to me that the Math's work was truly about serving the needs of others- Mother's example guides us in learning about giving selflessly- the orphanage in Kerala is an example of the completeness of Mother's care- the children i saw at Amritapuri were happy, smiling,playful children(some had come to visit the ashram) - when Amma took it over the children were under-fed, fearful and wearing rags -today, many will go to college! this attention to the whole person exemplifies the Math's work in all area's-widowed/deserted Indian woman being given a stipend and a sewing machine that they might work for their own betterment - children of the tsunami getting help to address their fears after the event - all of this is accomplished through the organization, a large one, filled with people who want to serve others and do so with only modest compensation- if that ! These are some of my experiences and feelings having spent months at the ashram in India and seeing Mother during her US tour - i give regular financial donations and know that every dollar is wisely spent - this is the "definition" of a lean organization -
