ETW Covid-Relief Silent Auction Summer 2021

Welcome to this year’s Covid-Relief Silent Auction.

Due to the effects of the current pandemic Amma's tours abroad and in India have been cancelled for the past year and a half. Amma knows this has deeply impacted many of Her children and how sad they have been to be away from Her for so long. Amma said “Although Amma is unable to physically see your smiling faces, Amma sees each one of you in Her heart. She is always thinking of you and praying for you.”

Proceeds from this summer’s silent online auction will provide relief to those affected by the pandemic. To find updates on Embracing the World's response to combat and contain COVID19, visit: https://www.amritapuri.org/?s=covid-19

Embracing the World (ETW) is a global network of regional humanitarian organizations, inspired by the India-based humanitarian initiatives of the Mata Amritanandamayi Math. Embracing the World exists to alleviate the burden of the world’s poor through helping to meet each of their five basic needs — food, shelter, healthcare, education, and livelihood — wherever and whenever possible. We are especially focused on helping to meet these needs in the aftermath of major disasters.

Augmenting these efforts, we work in the fields of environmental conservation and sustainability, to protect the future of our fragile planet. Through Amrita University (www.amrita.edu), our researchers are innovating new means of delivery of goods, knowledge, information, energy and healthcare.
