Haiti Relief Efforts
January 15, 2010
In
response to the deepening crisis in earthquake-ravaged Haiti, Amma
announced a plan to provide relief there. In the United States,
Embracing the World volunteers based at M.A. Center are already rushing
to assemble boxes of clothing and medical goods—surgical supplies,
first aid kits, and ambulatory aids like canes and walkers—for
immediate shipment to Haiti.
Simultaneously,
Amma has directed Br. Dayamrita Chaitanya to travel to Haiti with a
small team of medical advisors to assess conditions on the ground. Br.
Dayamrita’s team will explore avenues for Embracing the World to make a
meaningful long-term contribution to the recovery effort. Click here to find out how you can help.
In Amritapuri, Amma led several thousand people in a prayer for the
peace of the departed souls, for those who have suffered injuries and
devastating material losses, and for the mental strength and peace of
mind of those who have lost their loved ones.
Amma’s charities worldwide are now known collectively as Embracing the
World. In the United States, Embracing the World projects are managed
by M.A. Center, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in San Ramon,
California. Embracing the World’s contributions to the Haiti Relief
effort will also be managed by M.A. Center.
In the 30 days following the Asian Tsunami, the M. A. Center and community volunteers sent two full containers to disaster areas.
--Keep peaceful for the peace of those who are so greatly suffering. Count your blessings. Stop complaining. Get active. You are needed.
Love and light: Leena
