We are delighted to share a detailed report from Mridula Vasudevan, the VT Seva Maryland Youth President and summer camp Lead, which highlights the key moments and achievements from the program. ‐--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greetings from Mridula Vasudevan, Youth President of VT SEVA MARYLAND Branch As a Youth leader in the VT SEVA Maryland Branch, I have had the privilege of developing a more optimistic and proactive outlook through my involvement in volunteer initiatives. I firmly believe that maintaining a positive attitude, recognizing the good in others, and serving as a beacon of hope can transform an individual's life. Moreover, it fosters effective leadership. One event that significantly tested my abilities and helped me grow as a leader was the VT SEVA Maryland 2nd Annual June Summer Camp. During this camp, our students received instruction on topics relevant to their upcoming academic year, as well as engaging activities such as chess, yoga, and arts and crafts to stimulate their minds and bodies. The camp culminated in an Annual Day celebration on June 27th, featuring performances, games, and certificate distribution. This milestone event not only showcased our community's growth but also provided valuable leadership lessons for our volunteers. Through this experience, I had the opportunity to refine my communication and organizational skills. As a leader, I was responsible for coordinating with volunteers, managing the camp schedule, and communicating with parents and students. This taught me the importance of clear communication, adaptability, and effective problem-solving. I extend my gratitude to the parents, students, and volunteers who collaborated to make this project a success. Each individual played a vital role in making this experience memorable. *Special Acknowledgments I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to: Our students, whose enthusiasm and intelligence made this experience truly rewarding Parents and family members, whose support was invaluable _Sandhya Ji, for her generous contributions to the Annual Day setup_ The VT SEVA Maryland youth leads, whose dedication and teamwork were instrumental in achieving our goals: - Rashmika Sai Patel - Mahesh Chandra Gandam - Sana Shenoy - Divya Puthana - Geethika Pamani - Kaviya Karthickkumar - Akul Pallerla - Rohan Putthana - Dheesidan Karthickkumar - Taara Vasudevan - Samanvi Tammana - Anwesha Parida - Sasha Gandraju - Sreshta Sree Veldanda - Anvitha Nakka - Janelle Davies I am proud of our accomplishments and grateful for the support and cooperation that made this event a resounding success.
