We are planning on doing the next homeless feeding this coming Sunday, FEBRUARY 28. Chopping begins at 9:00 (as we are out of rainy season), and departure for the streets between 12:00 and 12:30, depending on how fast we can cook.
I have several people who are interested in helping out. It would be great to know who else wants to come - just call and confirm. Also, people who want to donate food are also welcome.

También, fuimos al Parque de Diversiones con las niñas de H. Montiel para celebrar el final de sus vacaciones. Hicimos un almuerzo estilo "picinic" y disfrutamos todos, hasta las Hermanas también!

Haiti Relief Efforts

January 20, 2010

In response to the deepening crisis in earthquake-ravaged Haiti, Amma announced a plan to provide relief there.

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.


Br. Dayamrita Chaitanya and his team are on the way to Haiti. They will then access the situation there and will be making plans on how MA Center can effectively provide immediate and long-term relief to the people of Haiti.

What we learned is that during a crisis like this, the best way to help is through financial donations. The reason for that is it allows those funds to be used in the local economy and in that way boost the sustainability of the local communities.

If you want to make a donation to the Haiti Relief effort, you could make a check payable to MA Center. Write in the memo that the check is for Haiti Relief. MA Center, P.O. Box 613, San Ramon, Ca 94583.

In terms of the medical supplies needed, they need just about every type of supply. For example (See List Below)

Basic First Aid


Ortho and Other Categories


Steel Instruments and Drug Admin

ABC Bandages


Splints

Apart from the above listed items the following are also needed:

o Respiratory Masks
o Personal Care Items & Cotton Balls


If you have a contact in a medical facility, it does not matter how large or how small, please see if you can obtain a donation of supplies. If you can bring the items here that would be best, but if the donation is too large for that, we will arrange to pick it up.

In terms of day-to-day living, some of the items needed are (read list below)

Some of you have done AIMS seva with Lela and know that everything that we ship has to go on a shipping manifest with a price. So, if you buy something to donate, please leave the price tag on it. That will save us from having to look up the price.

Since we do not have a satsang group located in Haiti to oversee Amma’s work there, we will be partnering with one of the large credible charities, which have a solid history of working in Haiti.

Make Donation checks payable to:

MA Center

PO Box 613

San Ramon, CA 94552



Ship In-kind Donations to:

Healthcare Charities, Inc.

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.
