Review for Mata Amritanandamayi Math, Kerala, , India

Rating: 5 stars  

I am one of Amma's Circle of Love letter writers who write to others seeking solace and understanding. At any point in time I have one or two persons who are having trouble coping. Currently I am writing to a person who is very depressed because of the death of a best friend. Being part of this Circle of Love is very rewarding for both the writer and the receiver! I am a retired social worker with a back injury. It helps to be of service to others.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

my service to others. I have many years experience as a social worker but due to my disability I was forced to retire. I find that focusing on others helps me cope with chronic pain and gives my life meaning.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

loving and supportive. The Circle of Love has a different way of organizing volunteers. Referrals are sent to letter writers via the Internet. Usually we write weekly letters for about 3 months but sometimes there are requests of a one time basis.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

turn that money around and give it back to others in the form of medical care, food, schools and universities, homes for the poor, care for the elderly, emergency services.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
