RAFT is an activity designed to help teachers in local schools by providing them with repurposed resources to aid them with teaching their children. Volunteering with them allows us to assist them in packaging these resources, giving them the ability to construct all these packages. With RAFT, we are helping children of the community learn from recycled materials that would otherwise go to waste. This month, a group of VT Seva volunteers gathered on May 20th in their San Jose location from 12:45 to 3:30 to package and sort items in order for them to be used as well as build educational packages for teachers.

In the brown bag packing activity, a small group of people come together to make and pack bags filling them with different items such as chips, drinks, fuit, etc. Within these groups, the value of teamwork is built, and it's true importance is shown. After these bags are packed, they go to a homeless shelter to help those in need. This activity really helps in helping our community, as there are many people who cannot afford nutritious food. Packing brown bags for shelters help those that are not as fortunate as us, and makes their futures a little brighter.
