The program began with wonderful words from Houston news anchor Melissa Wilson, Melissa Chase of radio station 96.5, and presenting sponsor Kroger.

Participants of all ages joined in, walking along the designated route while enjoying the beautiful scenery and amazing weather.

Atlanta VT Seva children and adults participated in the 76th Independence Day of Bharath with zeal and patriotism. Independence Day holds special significance in all our hearts. Not only does August 15th mark the day India gained independence from 200-year-old colonial rule, but Independence Day also serves as a reminder of all the good virtues, pride, rich cultural heritage, unity among diversity, and fertility of the land which we must all feel proud to call our homeland India. It's also the day when we commemorate and pay homage to the courageous sacrifices made by our freedom fighters. Atlanta VT Seva youths and adults infused with patriotic feeling made 100 tri-color bracelets, ribbons, flags, and wristbands. They also nurtured 150 plus herbs - Tulsi, Mint, and Curry leaf as a symbolic representation of 3 colors of the Bharath flag. In addition, 50 plus youths and adults participated in ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’ by joining in the Flag March. Sonali Bendre, film actress was leading the flag and our Atlanta VT Seva team was following her in the flag march. It was an amazing feeling of patriotism. Our youths raised $1400 by selling tricolors ribbons, bracelets, and flags. They also sold 3 herbs Tulsi, Curry leaf, and Mint. They also did tricolor face painting which was a huge hit at the event. All proceeds will go for the education of the visually challenged kids of Nethra Vidyalaya. It’s very gratifying and fulfilling experience for all of us. Jai Hind!

Just like our volunteering opportunity for Raleigh Meals on Wheels, we decided to warm the hearts of even more senior citizens. This time at another Meals on Wheels location in Durham.The cards filled with heart-filling words and pictures, and the bracelets created with affection, we made it our goal to make even more happy hearts during this Valentine’s Day season. The cards and bracelets, dropped off at a location once again, were taken down to Durham Meals on Wheels this time. Through this event we were able to create a memorable Valentine’s Day experience for the senior citizens at Durham Meals on Wheels. Our volunteers’ artistic skills, designing beautiful cards with uplifting messages have warmed the hearts of our seniors. The handcraft bracelets that were created allow seniors to wear them as a reminder of the caring community that surrounds them. This initiative has created lasting memories and has brought joy to the lives of our cherished seniors. Together, we have made this Valentine's Day one for them to remember.
