August 15th, 2025 VT Seva proudly organized a 5-day Table Tennis Camp (August 11–15) in Sammamish, WA, led by youth volunteer Saicharan Vellanki, where every serve helped uplift underprivileged and visually challenged children’s education. The camp brought together high-energy training, engaging matches, and fun while serving a greater purpose — public health and education equity. All proceeds from the event went directly toward supporting the education of underprivileged and visually challenged children through VT Seva’s initiatives. A heartfelt thank you to all the participants, volunteers, and families who supported this cause. Guided by VT Seva’s mission, your involvement turned sport into service — proving that together we can make a lasting difference.

On August 24th, VT Seva Seattle conducted its annual 5K Walkathon, carrying forward the same spirit of compassion and service as the Unity Cup. The event was more than just a walk — it was a joyful celebration of unity, tradition, and purpose. From a laughter-filled scavenger hunt to the Utti challenge and the nostalgic game of Seven Stones, families, youth, and community members came together in an afternoon of play, connection, and service. Sharing stories over a picnic lunch, everyone was reminded of a simple truth: we serve with purpose, we walk together, we share love — no one is more, no one is less, we are one team, we are one VT Seva. Like the Unity Cup, the Walkathon supported our goal of building two tiny homes in partnership with Sound Foundations NW, turning every step into a pledge of hope and impact for those experiencing homelessness. We were also honored to have Barb from Sound Foundations NW join us for the occasion and present the VT Seva Service Awards for 2024, recognizing the dedication and commitment of our youth volunteers.
