Summer Internship 2025: Smiles That Taught Me More Than I Could Ever Teach
From the moment I entered Allampally, I was greeted by the purest and most innocent smiles. On the very first day, as soon as we interns stepped outside, we were swarmed by children. They ran to us, their faces glowing, eagerly shouting their names. Some didn’t know how to speak English or Telugu, yet they still reached for our hands. What touched me most was how the older kids would step in to help—introducing the younger ones, translating their names and ages, and even tell

The true value I found in Allampally Jai Srimannarayana, My name is Medhasree Bhatter and I am in 9th grade. When I first went to Allampally for my VT Seva internship, I thought I was just going there to teach music and help out. What I didn’t realize was how deeply those 2 weeks completely changed my life. The children there were so ambitious. Every single one of them had dreams to become doctors, teachers, engineers, or musicians, and they spoke about their goals with so mu


Summer Internship 2025 - Lessons in Joy: What the Kids of Allampalli Taught Me About Giving - Hassini B
Before stepping foot in Allampalli, I thought I understood what volunteering meant. I packed my bags, skimmed through the curriculum, and boarded the bus with a vague idea of “giving back.” But nothing could’ve prepared me for what I was about to experience. From the moment we arrived, greeted by students with helping hands and the biggest of smiles, I realized that this trip wasn’t just about teaching lessons. It was about building relationships, seeing life through a differ
