Review for Mata Amritanandamayi Math, Kerala, , India
Inspired by Amma for the past 18 years, I have helped in several sheltesr for the homeless and have fundraised for tsunami survivors. I currently donate to Amma's orphanages in India on a regular basis because I am certain that this organization if free from waste and fraud. I keep in touch with various members in India via phone, email and in person and am continually impressed with the amount of time and expertise they are willing to donate to help sustain Amma's various charitable activities in such a conscientious manner. Each dollar donated to the MA Math increases many times over by the extensive number of hours of volunteer involvement. As a retired social worker in the child welfare arena, I am especially concerned about the humane, nurturing treatment of children everywhere. I have conducted extensive conversations with volunteers from Amma's orphanages in Inda to insure myself that the environment and staff are kind, caring and educated. While I have not visited India, I remain confident that these children receive far more than the basic necessities; their emotional and spiritual needs are considered in all aspects of their daily lives. From the videos and photographs I have seen, they are healthy, clean, thriving and happy children! MA Math Orphanages remain my charity fo choice.

Conscientious, intelligent, caring and committed.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Effect massive change for the poor and hungry. Other programs would be increased to areas throughout India including community hospitals, university settings and emergency relief programs. It would be very exciting to see the amount of good they could do!
