PAST EVENT

Our team—including both youth and adult volunteers—rolled up their sleeves and jumped into a variety of hands-on tasks: painting, caulking, insulating panels, assembling interiors, prepping materials, and more. It was a meaningful opportunity to learn practical life skills while contributing to a cause that directly impacts our community. Beyond the work itself, we also learned about the purpose of the Tiny Home Villages—how they offer not only safe, warm shelter but also stability, dignity, and a supportive community to help residents get back on their feet. Hearing our youth share their reflections afterward was truly inspiring; the experience deepened their understanding of homelessness and the power of service. This build was especially meaningful because the VT Seva team raised funds over the summer—through our Unity Cricket Cup and Walkathon—to sponsor tiny homes. It was wonderful for our volunteers to see these contributions turn into real, tangible impact. Here’s a glimpse of the work the team put in—photos and a quick highlight reel from the day! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uv1cSjW3lh8

PAST EVENT

VT SEVA Maryland Participated in the Winter Coat and Clothing Giveaway. VT Seva Maryland once again partner with wonderful volunteers of the Child Advocacy Center for their annual Children’s Clothing Giveaway. Inika Keranahalli Youth leader of the Maryland VTSeva Branch lead the event, which took place on October 18th from 8:00 am to 12 pm at West Frederick Middle School. Here is a small write up about the event from Inika. We are very thankful we got a very good opportunity to volunteer and help people in need during this clothing drive. All the volunteers of VT seva Maryland helped to sort the clothes by size and type, then arrange them neatly on the tables and racks. It was a bit of hard work at first because there were so many donations, but it felt good to see everything organized and ready for families who came in. When people arrived to pick out coats and clothes, We helped them find the right sizes and made sure everyone got something warm for winter. Seeing their smiles and hearing their thank-yous made me feel proud and happy that I could make a small difference. It was a great experience that taught me how teamwork and kindness can really help others. The event's success was largely due to the support of dedicated volunteers. Special thanks to My mom Ms. Shwetha and Ms. Sobana Vasudevan for their valuable contributions. Also to our volunteers Mahati Konduri, Bhavya Y, Anwesha Parida,Arjun C. A very special thanks to Abhinav Komperla who helped collect the clothes for this event.
