Auction site: ETWAuctions2018.

MA Centers of LA and San Ramon has launched their annual online auction. The state of Kerala has experienced some of the worst rains and floods in recent history with over 300,000 homeless and over 400 lives lost. With the rains having finally subsided, the immense recovery effort is now underway to get the state of Kerala back on its feet and the people back in their homes. Proceeds from this silent online auction will benefit Embracing the World (ETW)'s efforts to rehabilitate the flood victims. 

Mata Amritanandamayi (Amma) has announced that she will donate Rs. 100 million ($1.42 million) to the Kerala chief minister's distress relief fund. See press release >>. In addition, Embracing the World volunteers are on the ground providing aid to those affected through food, water, supplies and medical assistance. See more >>

Online auctions in the past have contributed to many of Amma's humanitarian projects across the globe, including: Amrita Kuteeram (Amma's housing project), disaster relief efforts, and the farmer relief project.
We encourage everyone to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to find precious treasures that will bless your lives and homes for years to come and simultaneously support those in need.
