Project Lead: Harish Jaisankar In celebration of World Teen Mental Wellness Day on March 2, 2022 the Detroit Youth Board members send each other kind messages and thanking each other for their support. In light of recent global events, it's extremely important that we continue to promote peace and respect to each other. By letting others know that we appreciate their work, we show our support for our community as a whole and also make sure that they are appreciated. This event was an amazing opportunity for our youth volunteers to get closer as an organization. 31 Members who participated were assigned 3 other volunteers. Then, members head to each volunteer's Kudoboard, a virtual site where they can post messages addressed to a specific volunteer.

On April 30, 2023, Sri Ashtalakshmi Temple was abuzz with excitement as students of all ages came together to celebrate Earth Day through a science fair competition conducted by VT Seva Houston. We want to take this opportunity to thank our amazing judges Sriram Pudugramam, Priyavrat Shukla, Milind Kulkarni, and Amit Sharma for devoting their time and for their excellent mentorship! The event started off with an informative and interactive presentation from Sewa International regarding disaster preparedness which got the kids in the zone! This was followed with a diverse range of captivating posters, costumes, experiments, PowerPoint Presentations, and short films. Students prepared their creative presentations in the weeks before the event and presented them to the judges on the event day. The science fair turned out to be a tremendous success, inspiring a new wave of enthusiasm among these future innovators and scientists. Congratulations to Sachin Palla, Raman Srinand, Samhith Gande, Akshra Badam, Abhinav Mudiya, Varnikproya Vazrala, Abhiram Kandala, Shrithan Chokkarapu, Srilakshminath Madasu, Srilalitha Madasu, Saathvik Kamma, and Srinithya Tirumala for winning prizes at this competition!

As a part of Environmental Sustainability effort and Climate Change Action , Volunteers took part in the Green Initiative by taking shorter showers, conserving energy, etc. one volunteer wrote “During the green initiative activity, I take measures to reduce my carbon footprint and save as much of our resources as possible. Some ways I do this is by using natural light instead of turning on the lights in my room when daylight is still there, using the bus to go to and from school everyday rather than using personal transportation, and buying locally sourced food from stores such as Lucky's and Safeway rather than other food. Although these measures taken are small, they eventually add up in the long-term and end up reducing the amount of waste I produce in regards to the resources I have access to. I find these actions really important for our environment and our future so I do them gladly.”

Our City is an urban forestry non profit organization that helps provide low income residents with lower cost trees. Many independent homes in Santa Clara county require owners to have a tree planted in front of their houses, the cost of these trees can become very expensive, which is why Our City Forest brings in volunteers to help in their nursery. Which will then be picked up by homeowners to plant in front of their homes. Our VT Seva volunteers go to the nursery monthly and help with plucking weeds, planting seeds, and mixing soil!

As part of the WAKE Up and Read Volunteering activity, VT Seva Cary volunteers were part of a community initiative in 2024 to improve school readiness, expand learning opportunities, and also engage families in the learning process. It is ultimately a way for volunteers to commit to a charitable cause that helps the underprivileged by building home libraries for them in Wake County. Volunteers were able to take part in one of the biggest book drives on March 2nd. This activity asked volunteers to help sort, count, and bundle books that would then be shared with the community. They were also tasked with receiving books, and sorting/compiling literacy materials. This event allowed our volunteers to become closer within our Wake County community and help support the underprivileged.

World Medical Relief collects and distributes recycled medical and dental supplies and medicines to help thousands of sick and poor people around the world. These goods are distributed in a non-discriminatory manner without regard to race, color, gender, and religion, nationality, or political beliefs. It was an amazing experience to be able to sort and repackage supplies that will be shipped to Ukraine during their terrible times and meeting their medical needs.
