For one of VT Seva Bay Area’s Environmental Services events in November, we had our first green initiative activity! Youth volunteers are encouraged to partake in conservative measures through “Reuse, Reduce and Recycle”. For example, youth volunteers can conserve by cutting down their showers, planting drought-resistant trees, not overusing lights, walk/bike as much as possible, and recycling their materials!

After gathering to make pins to sell at the independence day event, members of VT Seva gathered at a stall and put out a word for both VT Seva and raising funds for disabled education in India. Before setting up the booth, members participated in the flag march. Members held up the flag to show their pride in India and its independence. After the flag march, members set up the booth and offered face painting, the flag badges, and tulsi plants. This also advertised for our Subha event coming up in October. In total 50 youths and adults participated in this event. They split into groups. 3 groups walked around the event center to advertise Vt Seva and make sales. While the 3 groups were doing this, 2 groups were at the booth. One group made sales and another handled face painting and henna. By advertising VT Seva also gained new members as well as making sales. During the event, youths came up with new ways to do advertising, and innovative strategies. These strategies worked and raised more funds.
