The brown bag activity is an activity in which we package food for those who need it. We donate fruits, bars, and a burrito to homeless shelters to give them a meal for the day, helping them out in this way, so they do not become neglected.

The world we live in is nothing short of a miracle. It is home to unparalleled beauty and wonders so marvelous they seem almost preposterous, for no man-made artifact can rival the bewitching allure of even the simplest forests. Each design, from the delicate etchings of leaves to the concentric circles of tree trunks to the twinkling glow of a rainbow, is remarkable, a paragon of beauty. In the words of Helen Keller: “To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.” This quote poetically encapsulates the ethereal charm of nature, incomparable to any manufactured luxuries. However, these places of beauty are quickly being disrupted, destroyed, and desecrated into a wasteland of modern industrialism. With no end to such devastation in sight, it is our responsibility to take matters in our hands and do something for our Mother Earth. Keeping this mantra in mind, VT SEVA adopted Old Atlanta Rd. and held their first trash pick-up on the auspicious day of Ram Navami. With around 30 VT SEVA volunteers working hand in hand to pick up any waste left behind, it was truly a heartwarming sight to see! This event was held on July 8th 2023 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and it commenced with a few inspirational words from our local city council member Dilip Tunki.

To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow and Atlanta VT Seva youths exhibited their belief in tomorrow by planting numerous seeds and saplings at Happy Family Farms on May 1st, 2022. They took weeds out and cleaned the ground for the saplings to grow and cultivate the crops. Total 23 people participated in this service project which comprises of 15 youths and 8 adults. They worked 3 hours at the farm and enjoyed working at the farm under the supervision of Harika Pavan, the farm owner. She was very kind in guiding Atlanta youths in the right direction of dos and don’ts of farming. It was an amazing sight to see all youths working very hard in the farm by removing weeds, sow seeds, and plants some saplings. They planted Moringa, Okra and Marigold saplings. They also sowed Marigold seeds at the farm. The farm owner has also provided them a land where they can grow their plants and nurture plants under her supervision. This is an eco-friendly initiative of Atlanta VT Seva to motivate our youths to stay connected with nature and preserve nature for the future generations. Overall, it was a wonderful experience for all the Atlanta youths and adults.

VT Seva Detroit once again got this wonderful oppourtunity to help them this year in their gardening efforts. We helped Bobby and her associate Herb Norgrove in clearing out all the weeds, made a smooth ground for planting, and till the ground using Rototiller. It was such a great enriching experience for all the youth and adult volunteers to learn about using different garden tools and about gardening basics as well. All in all, we had a great time outdoors helping the community and also getting inspired by seeing how some of the elderly people who came there and volunteered as well giving back to the community.
