These will be used by people in need in many developing countries. We had the privilege to volunteer at the World Medical Relief, where we all sorted through medical equipment which will be sent to places in need of high quality medical equipment. The World Medical Relief is also a state of the art pacemaker facility, and they gave us an amazing tour of their facility, where they collect, sterilize, and repair pacemakers before they are then given to others who need them.

During this fantastic project, youth took home blanket bags and provided a quality check at home using the guidelines given by Fleece & Thank You. They performed tasks such cutting and retying stands as necessary, noting if any tags or codes were missing, and placing blankets in separate bags based on their quality. They made sure the blankets were in great quality! These blankets were dropped back off at Fleece & Thank you to be later distributed to different childrenโ€™s hospitals.

As part of our monthly volunteering initiative at the Houston Council of the Blind, VT Seva Houston volunteers had the privilege of contributing in meaningful ways. From distributing snacks and keeping an organized headcount to assisting with various needs throughout the event, every small act added up to a truly enriching experience. Being part of a community that values support and inclusivity was deeply inspiring. Witnessing the joy and connection these gatherings bring to attendees reminded us how even the simplest gestures can leave a lasting impact. This experience reaffirmed the power of service and the value of showing up with compassion.

๐ŸŽจ Atlanta VT Seva Youth Art Project โ€“ June 7th & 8th, 2025 - Highlights ๐ŸŒฟ On June 7th and 8th, the Atlanta VT Seva youth came together for a vibrant weekend of creative expression and environmental awareness. The group designed and painted eco-friendly fabric bags, customized notebook covers, and worked on unique laser-engraved art projects. This talented and thoughtful group of young adults used their artwork to promote the 3Rs โ€“ Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. One standout initiative involved repurposing used notebooks by transforming them into new ones, each adorned with beautifully hand-decorated covers themed around environmental protection. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ““ From artistic rangoli patterns to custom coasters, bags, and more, the event was a wonderful display of teamwork, creativity, and purpose. It was heartwarming to see both youths and adults fully engaged, having fun while contributing to a meaningful cause!
