“The measure of achievement is not winning awards. It’s doing that you appreciate something you believe is worthwhile”... These VT SEVA youth volunteers put hundreds of volunteering hours in doing community service and they believe that every moment is worthwhile. For some, “it helped them to grow as person,” and for others, the internship at our Tribal and Visually challenged schools in India, “changed their thinking on life perspective.” Congratulations to all winners of 2019 Presidential Volunteer Service Award! Despite the troubling times, you have all consistently shown your impressive dedication towards service locally and globally. It is common knowledge that you all inspire those you come across to be the best person they can be. Always remember that the service you have done, however large or small, will always have a positive impact on a life. Continue to do service and create positive change. Congratulations to Aneesha kodati Asmitha Satya Reddy,Ayush Madabhushi Anath Madabhushi,Satvika Lanka,Rithika Lanka,Anjanli Vellanki,Sanjana Vellanki,Sri NeelaVoddi,ShauriJaligama,TanviChapyala Akshar Vedantham,Siddhi Kundur, Neha Reddy Kunta,Aditi Marupaka Sreeja Polkampally,Keerthana Reddy Deeksha Reddy Patel,Veena Reddy Rithika Busireddy, Mahika Busireddy Suchet Mididoddi, Suchir Mididoddi Rithika Pathuri,Pooja Yerneni Vishnu Divakaruni,Vedna Puskur.

VT Seva Detroit volunteered at Food Gatherers, Ann Arbor on July 8th, 2023. Food Gatherers has a Food Bank and also does food rescue from all the grocery stores in Washtenaw county. Our VT Seva volunteers helped Food Gatherers with Food rescue by sorting good food and composting the food that has gone bad. 12 VT Seva Detroit volunteers (Youth & Adults) volunteered today to sort 810 pounds of food to be distributed amongst 150 different organizations that supplies food to different food pantries. Washtenaw county alone has around 57k to 58k that are food insecure. Today’s volunteering was aimed at eradicating hunger in our community and providing nutritious food with dignity. We sorted 810 pounds of food and packed them into boxes. Cleaned and disinfected the tables and swept and mopped the floors.
