Hello Everyone, This beautiful Sunday morning, September 17th 2023, several enthusiastic youth and adult volunteers participated in the VT Seva Cancer Awareness Walkathon at Thompson Park, Monroe. The goal of this Walkathon was to bring cancer awareness and raise funds for early cancer screening kits for Women in India. Before beginning the walk, the importance of spreading cancer awareness was discussed. Inspiring youth also gave speeches, appreciating the group for taking action. They mentioned that supporting this cause is a significant pillar in VTSeva India. At the end of the day, the team walked for 5km, raising $800 from donations and a plant sale.

Many of us celebrate Labor Day with parties, parades, picnics, and cookouts. But it's important to remember who and what we are celebrating for; the American workers and labor force. “American labor has raised the nation’s standard of living and contributed to the greatest production the world has ever known… the nation pays tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation's strength, freedom, and leadership—the American worker.” – DOL.gov (U.S. Department of Labor) 40 of VT Seva Atlanta youths appreciated the labor of Essential Workers on this year's Labor Day 2023. The volunteers expressed that they felt humbled to talk to the workers and appreciated their efforts in providing for the public. All youths presented a ‘Thank You’ card and gifted Chocolates or flowers to appreciate the hard work of essential workers like mail delivery men, garbage collectors, janitorial staff, hospital staff, etc. Giving is the Art of Living!

On Labor Day 2023, VT Seva 8th Youth Club in Chattahoochee Highschool was established. Another inspirational story of persistence, not to quit inspite of several rejections✌️✌️✌️ Hi all, this is Parthu Valluri, the President of VT Seva club at Chattahoochee Highschool. I'm proud to say that we have established VT Seva Youth Club in our school on Sep 1st. This club has been in the works since last year; the idea of the club was introduced to me by Madhu Aunty when I first joined VT Seva. Although it has been in the works for a while now, these last three weeks have been a series of unexpected twists and turns, as finding a proper sponsor was a huge issue. Our first two sponsors both quit immediately after submitting the application. Finding teachers only got more difficult as dozens rejected me and quickly, two weeks had flown by. It wasn't looking too good for us as time was running out. Thanks to Yoshna, one of our Vice Presidents, we managed to get a sponsor that was willing to help us last minute and thanks to him we are able to start our club! Now we are going to get started on pitching our club to the school this coming week and work together to spread VT Seva to Chattahoochee. Community service always starts small and becomes a big and beautiful collaborative activity, exactly what VT Seva Chattahoochee aspires to become. I look forward to working with my wonderful team of officers here in order to bring value to our community and to support the cause that VT Seva has brought to the world.

VT Seva Atlanta Youth attended the Peach State Tour at Norcross Paul Duke Highschool. Representatives from GT, UGA, GA State, and Augusta University attended the event. These 4 colleges shared valuble information to 100+ people. They gave the students insight of the courses, admissions processes, and average costs of each college. Parents also attended the meeting, receiving information on how to handle the financial side of college for their children. The college courses were also shown to help students decide where they would want to go for their future careers. This tour was an excellent opportunity for the highschoolers in the VT Seva Atlanta team to plan for their future, and for the parents to help guide them.
