Review for Mata Amritanandamayi Math, Kerala, , India

Rating: 5 stars  

MA Math is an amazing charitable organization. It unconditionally assists the needy in every aspect of life: housing (it gives away houses that have been specially built), food(it supplies 3 cooked meals a day and gives supplies), clothing(distributes new clothes), vocational training(and will give the recipient free necessary equipment), free medical care, schooling (it runs its own schools held in high esteem),it will give all the necessary for poor couples who want to marry and perform the ceremony.It provides telemedicine to tribal areas and is always promptly on the scene when there is a natural disaster. And all this and more truly delivered with love and respect.During my time as a volunteer I felt that MA Math was rebuilding all of India from the ground up, not just focusing on one aspect of charity and with the aim of not having charity be the bottom line, but a re-emergence of the glory that once was India, a vision that India can and will lead the world in dharma once again, from the bottom up. And show other nations what can be done to confront any problem head on. When I volunteered, I saw this, and didn't expect to think like this, but found that I did, again and again.

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

my own life. I volunteered there and became a completely new and better person. I developed skills I didn't know I had. I was encouraged and trusted to try new things.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

..ask the head of the organization. I doubt that I am up to such a complex task.

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

The opportunity to try my hand in just about any aspect of charitable work that I chose.

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

Completely varied.

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

Put an end to 95% of all childhood cancers, or build another 10,000 homes for the homeless, or open another school for the deaf in India...

Ways to make it better...

..I had started when I was a bit younger!

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

.. The rest of the world does not yet yet recognize the importance of the organization. It is way ahead of its time, and also exactly in tune with the times.

One thing I'd also say is that...

I trust this organization, and that's not easy to say baout organizations.
