Meet Kaif
After surviving an acid attack at age 3 that left her visually impaired, Kafi began school at 8 and has now scored an incredible 95% in her CBSE class 12 exams, topping her blind school in Chandigarh.

These life-changing tools are funded by Seedlings for Education, a VT Seva Dallas initiative. Alongside, our Accessible Digital Books Project has made over 400 school, college, and competitive exam textbooks (more than 140,000 pages) available in accessible formats.

Celebration
Stars, Stripes & Celebration
VT Seva branches across the country honored the spirit of freedom by giving back to the community. Volunteers and youth leaders channeled the meaning of Independence into action by organizing walkathons, sports tournaments, and other fundraising initiatives to support both local causes and our ongoing mission to empower students from Nethra Vidyalaya and Tribal Schools.
While the nation celebrated its liberty, our volunteers chose to extend that liberty to others by helping ensure that underprivileged and visually challenged students have access to quality education and equal opportunities.
While many spent summer relaxing, our volunteers sprang into action.
They responded to urgent disaster relief needs in Liberty Hills, Leander, and Georgetown, bringing help and hope to affected communities.
Beyond emergency efforts, our volunteers cleaned roads and parks, visited seniors in care homes, conducted youth-led summer camps, and supported local food banks. Across the country, countless local service initiatives are underway, and each one is making a meaningful impact on society.
Thank you to all our supporters and volunteers for turning the freedom into a powerful reminder that true independence means lifting others along the way.
