VT Seva Cary continued its commitment to community service with two impactful volunteering sessions at the Durham Rescue Mission – Men’s Campus. A team of 20 youth and 4 adult volunteers came together to serve meals and offer support to individuals experiencing homelessness. Durham Rescue Mission, North Carolina’s oldest and largest non-profit homeless shelter, has long been a partner in our service journey. Over the years, this has become one of VT Seva Cary’s core volunteering events, and we are honored to be consistently invited back to contribute. This time was especially meaningful, as our volunteers helped with one of the mission’s most essential services—serving hot meals to the men who find shelter and hope at the Rescue Mission. It was a powerful reminder of the impact we can make right here in our own communities. We are proud to stand alongside Durham Rescue Mission in their mission to uplift lives, and we look forward to continuing this partnership in the months ahead.

On November 21st, VT SEVA South Forsyth High School hosted our community fundraising event, Cone Up for a Cause, at Jeremiah’s Italian Ice on Peachtree Parkway. From 3 PM to 9 PM, students, families, and community members stopped by throughout the afternoon and evening to enjoy Italian ice, gelatis, and soft-serve while supporting a meaningful mission. At the counter, guests used the code VTSEVA, allowing 20% of each purchase to go directly toward our initiative. Our goal for this event was to raise awareness about the fight against drug abuse while also generating funds to support the impactful work being done at Emory Rehabilitation Hospital. Although the event maintained a calm and steady flow of visitors, each contribution counted, and every purchase — big or small — helped push our mission forward. The atmosphere was warm and encouraging, with volunteers greeting guests, sharing information, and fostering a sense of community involvement. The funds we raised will be donated to Emory Rehabilitation Hospital, where they will help support patient rehabilitation, treatment access, and ongoing recovery support services. For those inspired to extend their support beyond the event, additional donations can be made through Emory’s official giving page.🏥♥️ Ultimately, Cone Up for a Cause was more than a fundraiser; it was a moment for our school and local community to come together, enjoy something sweet, and support a cause that genuinely matters. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared the event, or contributed in any way. Your support helps us continue creating positive impact, one event at a time.

During October and November 2025, VT Seva South Forsyth youths led the 1000 Paper Cranes Project, working with youth leader Rathna Malapati and Wellstar North Fulton Hospital. On November 25th, all volunteers will come together at the library to sew the cranes into beautiful strands which will be used to decorate the Wellstar North Fulton Hospital in December.🏥 The tradition of dedicatedly folding 1000 paper cranes is a beautiful symbol of health, longevity, and good luck for all the hospital staff and patients, and it has been a great way for VT Seva Atlanta youths to give back something meaningful to their community. ♥️✌️ This project is extremely successful with 1100+ paper cranes created by over 30 youth in various colors. ❤️💙💚 We are very grateful for all of our youth for working hard on their well-crafted cranes and Rathna Malapati for her wonderful project idea, her leadership in project planning, and her design for the paper crane strand.

ATL Candy Drive was a huge success. We collected 300 lbs of candy from 22 youth clubs to bring smiles to American troops stationed on the borders. Our generous dentist, Dr. Praveen, was deeply impressed with everyone’s efforts and gifted each child a goodie bag containing a mug, toothpaste, toothbrush, and floss. He also donated a $1,000 check to support visually challenged students — a thoughtful contribution that will leave a lasting impact! 👏♥️✌️

Atlanta youth took the initiative to help their friends improve their SAT scores by launching an SAT workshop. A disclaimer was shared that VT Seva is not a SAT tutoring organization. Our youth shared SAT effective test-taking strategies, study techniques, and practice resources to help their friends boost their performance. Not only are these Atlanta VTS youth are supporting their classmates with SAT prep, but they also raised $3,000 for the education of Nethra students in India — an incredible achievement!🌟♥️🌟
