On November 21st, VT SEVA South Forsyth High School hosted our community fundraising event, Cone Up for a Cause, at Jeremiah’s Italian Ice on Peachtree Parkway. From 3 PM to 9 PM, students, families, and community members stopped by throughout the afternoon and evening to enjoy Italian ice, gelatis, and soft-serve while supporting a meaningful mission. At the counter, guests used the code VTSEVA, allowing 20% of each purchase to go directly toward our initiative. Our goal for this event was to raise awareness about the fight against drug abuse while also generating funds to support the impactful work being done at Emory Rehabilitation Hospital. Although the event maintained a calm and steady flow of visitors, each contribution counted, and every purchase — big or small — helped push our mission forward. The atmosphere was warm and encouraging, with volunteers greeting guests, sharing information, and fostering a sense of community involvement. The funds we raised will be donated to Emory Rehabilitation Hospital, where they will help support patient rehabilitation, treatment access, and ongoing recovery support services. For those inspired to extend their support beyond the event, additional donations can be made through Emory’s official giving page.🏥♥️ Ultimately, Cone Up for a Cause was more than a fundraiser; it was a moment for our school and local community to come together, enjoy something sweet, and support a cause that genuinely matters. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared the event, or contributed in any way. Your support helps us continue creating positive impact, one event at a time.

During October and November 2025, VT Seva South Forsyth youths led the 1000 Paper Cranes Project, working with youth leader Rathna Malapati and Wellstar North Fulton Hospital. On November 25th, all volunteers will come together at the library to sew the cranes into beautiful strands which will be used to decorate the Wellstar North Fulton Hospital in December.🏥 The tradition of dedicatedly folding 1000 paper cranes is a beautiful symbol of health, longevity, and good luck for all the hospital staff and patients, and it has been a great way for VT Seva Atlanta youths to give back something meaningful to their community. ♥️✌️ This project is extremely successful with 1100+ paper cranes created by over 30 youth in various colors. ❤️💙💚 We are very grateful for all of our youth for working hard on their well-crafted cranes and Rathna Malapati for her wonderful project idea, her leadership in project planning, and her design for the paper crane strand. We also thank Wellstar North Fulton Hospital 🏥 for providing such a great opportunity for our youth to serve the community with kindness and dedication!👍

VT Seva successfully conducted a blood donation drive on November 8th, in collaboration with Cumming Dental for Life South Community Blood Center. The camp was organized from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM as part of our year-long community service initiative, where adults come together to donate blood and support those in need! We all know how precious blood is—it has the power to save lives. VT Seva proudly takes this responsibility and conducts these blood donation camps quarterly, creating opportunities for volunteers to serve the community in a meaningful way. This drive saw a strong participation of 20 donors, and 15 dedicated volunteers who took turns to manage and support the activity. Thanks to their commitment and teamwork, the event was a grand success.🎉 VT Seva continues to uphold its mission of service, compassion, and giving back to society.

ATL Candy Drive was a huge success. We collected 300 lbs of candy from 22 youth clubs to bring smiles to American troops stationed on the borders. Our generous dentist, Dr. Praveen, was deeply impressed with everyone’s efforts and gifted each child a goodie bag containing a mug, toothpaste, toothbrush, and floss. He also donated a $1,000 check to support visually challenged students — a thoughtful contribution that will leave a lasting impact! 👏♥️✌️

The VT Seva Innovation Academy High School chapter, with special thanks to youth volunteer Neel Irkal for organizing the event, hosted a Diwali celebration on November 8th at the Sandy Springs Library. The event welcomed 43 attendees and offered a variety of activities designed to highlight the cultural significance of the Festival of Lights. 🪔🌺Participants engaged in paper crafts, games, and a photo booth, and volunteers provided instruction on creating basic rangoli designs ✴️🔯 and using simple rangoli stencils. The event was well-received and provided a welcoming space for community members of all ages to learn, participate, and connect. We are thankful to everyone who came out and made the event such a success!

Atlanta youth took the initiative to help their friends improve their SAT scores by launching an SAT workshop. A disclaimer was shared that VT Seva is not a SAT tutoring organization. Our youth shared SAT effective test-taking strategies, study techniques, and practice resources to help their friends boost their performance. Not only are these Atlanta VTS youth are supporting their classmates with SAT prep, but they also raised $3,000 for the education of Nethra students in India — an incredible achievement!🌟♥️🌟

Canned with Care. Donated with Heart. 💙 Proud to share that our VT Seva youth team successfully organized a Canned Food Drive, collecting and donating over 500 vegetarian canned goods, totaling 6,500+ ounces of food to Meals By Grace! 🙌 Our goal was simple: support families in need with healthy, shelf-stable food options. Grateful to all who donated, spread the word, and helped make this service effort a success. Together, we’re nourishing lives and building compassionate communities. 💪🌱

VTS West Forsyth Highschool - DAV Flower Making Activity 🌼 Students from West Forsyth High School led a meaningful DAV Flowers event, bringing youth together to create handmade flowers for disabled veterans. Each flower—crafted with care and gratitude—served as a heartfelt symbol of appreciation for the veterans’ service and sacrifice. The event fostered collaboration, creativity, and compassion, reminding everyone of the importance of giving back to those who have given so much for our country!

West Forsyth High School’s VT Seva club participated in the Meals by Grace Sunday service the weekend before Thanksgiving. Our youth helped pack canned goods, load trunks with festive ingredients, create encouraging cards for families facing challenges during the holiday season, and assemble break bags for children in need of snacks and food over the Thanksgiving break. Together, we supported more than 100 families — a meaningful impact made possible by our incredible team of volunteers.✌️♥️✌️
