VOLUNTEERS
WE
CAN CHANGE THE FUTURE OF INDIA.
YOU
CAN CHOOSE
AS
BIG A ROLE AS YOU WANT
OR
AS SMALL
There
are literally a hundred different things that need to be done and
every one of us can pick the things we would like to do according to
our individual interest and ability. Some things will require taking
charge, making decisions and leading others. Some things will not.
Some things will put us in the lime light. Some things we need to do
on the back stage. Everything is important. Everything needs to be
taken care of.
So
the question is, what role do you see for yourself? What
responsibility would you like to take?
Here
below I am highlighting only a few things. You can read everything
written on this website, see the whole picture in your mind and see
the things you would like to do. Choose your own role. What we are
doing here is no small thing. You can be center stage and play a
major role, if you have the ability.
All
positions are honorary, no pay or perk.
CHOOSE
YOUR OWN ROLE
Mata
Annapurna Ashram Chapters
in
every district in India
and
around the world
To
coordinate all the work and to facilitate participation of thousands
of people we are involving matured, responsible individuals to open
Chapters of Mata Annapurna Ashram in their area. We will have
Chapters in every district in India and in every city around the
world where there is large Indian population.
We
are giving roles of responsibility to self-driven, capable young men
and women. We are mentoring them to play a major part in bringing
change by combining their youthful energy and new ideas with the
experience and wisdom of the seniors.
Event
Coordinators
in
India and abroad
Very
exciting and challenging role. They coordinate the "Ten Million
Meals" events and the monthly and weekly "Childrens
Day" events. Coordinators work in small groups. Every group is
involved in only one district or sub-district in India. Groups around
the world work together and together they organize and manage all
events in their district or sub-district.
They
also work with private and corporate donors. Donors sponsor events.
Coordinators take care of all the work.
Other
Important Roles
Everything
that needs to be done is important and everyone who does it makes a
significant contribution. Without doing the things that are normally
considered small and not very important, the things that are
considred big and important cannot be done.
Please
introduce yourself
If
you see your role in anything we are doing, please introduce
yourself and share with us what you see in your role.
THREE
WAYS TO DO IT
(1)
If you have your personal profile anywhere on the internet, just
send us the link.
(2)
This is the best way to do it. Make a video to introduce yourself.
Talk about the role you see for yourself, what you would like to do,
how you would do it. Put it on YouTube, MySpace, any site, so people
around the world can see it. Introduction in this manner will help
people planning to help in the same district/state make contact with
one another, form their own groups, plan ahead. Do it in your
language since you would be more involved in your home
district/state. Do it in English also if you like to work with people
from other states.
Put
these tags for search:
maa-volunteers-(your
language)
maa-volunteers-english
(the
language you record it in, hindi, english, other.)
People
will search for videos according to language.
Send
us the links to your videos:
videolinks@mata-annapurna-ashram.org
You
can send the links to everyone you want.

CHARITY
BEGINS AT HOME
With
your introduction please send a donation. Donation is necessary for
this reason: You and me and everyone who joins us, we all are doing
this to help the children. Our efforts and our monetary contribution
must begin from within. "Charity begins at home". It is not
just a catchy phrase. It has deep spiritual significance. What it
means is, charity work becomes possible only if it begins in one's
own heart. If we have the compassion to help the needy we want to do
something on our own before we ask others to join us. If we don't
have that in our heart charity work is not possible. Here, if our
heart doesn't make us give the first donation and we ask others to
give, it won't work.
So,
look within and see how you feel. If you feel happy and excited
about this, send your first donation. If you don't feel happy and
excited don't get involved. You are not ready for charity work. Wait
till it begins in your heart.
Send
your donation through PayPal to:
ten-million-meals@mata-annapurna-ashram.org
In
message space please write "Donation with Introduction"
and provide links to your introduction videos.
