| Another Aama in America
Remember reading Broughton Coburn's Aama in America? Coburn took Vishu Maya Gurung (called Aaama), the 75-year-old Nepali widow, to a guided, personal tour of America. He helped her explore America. This story in the USA Today is reminiscent of Nepali Aama, except that the the Amma from the southern Indian state of Kerala has been guiding thousands of Americans to explore their inner self. The newspaper reports: The 52-year-old has hugged more than 27 million people in her life. In the past 18 months alone, she has committed $23 million to tsunami relief and $1 million to Katrina relief [Video adjoining].
