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

My name is Niyati Pandari, I am in 10th grade and I am from Houston, Texas and I have been a part of VT Seva for 5 years. I was a part of the internship in 2025 and I chose to do this because I really wanted to understand the impact VT Seva is making on the kids in India. When I went I saw that VT Seva wasn’t just helping a few people but it was transforming communities. One of the most meaningful parts of this internship was visiting the Jeeyar Gurukulams in Allampally and B

I’m Jashvant Malkireddy, a 10th-grade student from Cary, North Carolina. I have been part of VT Seva since I was 12 years old and have always been astonished in the various ways that they have been helping in the United States community. However, I wanted to expand my knowledge about VT Seva and see what impact VT Seva had on communities in India, which led me to joining the VT Seva Internship in India this summer. During my time at this internship, I had visited many places.

Hello, my name is Jayani Vaishnava, a current junior in high school. I’ve been volunteering in VT Seva since I was 7 years old.

It was incredible to see how all the donations have been usedover the course of these many years from when VT Seva started. Throughout the course of these 10 da

Every Friday and Sunday evening, kids across the United States are usually playing video games or cramming some last-minute homework. But for Nethra Vidyalaya volunteers, there is a whole other story. Every weekend, youth volunteers across the United States log onto Zoom to help visually challenged students in Nethra Vidyalaya schools practice their English as part of Nethra ESL. From practicing verb tenses and figures of speech to participating in mock interviews and impro

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

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
