"Believe and act as if it were impossible to fail." – Charles Kettering On Sept 6th we met with Alumni of our Netra Vidyalaya, Trinadh Nekkanti , who graduated with Bachelors in Commerce. He is currently working at Allegis Group as a Recruiter. He shared his experience with all the wonderful donors and volunteers who made this possible. When asked what is your message to us? He shared that he believes in giving to the community and talked about his inspiration. He currently is supporting orphanages and love giving back to society through teaching or donating. He also said if it was not for Netra Vidyalaya he wouldn't have adopted such a sense of social service. He is a great example for many of us to pay it forward. In Trinadh's words - Check out our other videos in this series: VT Seva YouTube We would like to convey our heartfelt thanks to all the donors who support us and make this possible.

Two projects, Grocery Delivery Project & 13 Day Shred—VTSEVA Report Due to the drastic societal effects of this global pandemic, the Grocery Delivery Project and the 13 Day Shred were created in order to help engage and support a multitude of families and communities. Throughout the 13 Day Shred, families and kids were able to participate in engaging workouts at home despite a majority of gyms being closed. The Grocery Delivery Project was crafted to acquire non-perishable food items as donations for the community as many Americans are currently suffering to makes ends meet because of the pandemic. Thank you to our volunteers (Aakarsh Dhilip, Pranav Nair, and Chinmay Koimuttum) who have worked hard to organize these programs to work as effectively as possible. We created these programs to be as easily accessible as possible, making it convenient for anyone who wished to participate in them. For the Grocery Delivery Project, volunteers advertised the program through various different avenues in order to reach as many potential participants as possible. Over the course of 4 weeks, participants left their food donations by their front doors for our volunteers to pick up every Saturday. These donations would then all be donated to Northwest Harvest on specific dates. In total, The Grocery Delivery Project was able to reach 46 families, and with the support of all of our participants, was able to donate 1560 lbs worth of donations. The 13 Day Shred was a workout program that occurred over the course of one month. With adequate rest days in between for recovery, the program involved 13 exercise videos catered to participants of all fitness levels. The exercises involved little to no equipment, allowing for anyone to participate. The videos also entailed nutrition segments which provided helpful nutrition tips and advice for participants. Thank you, Chinmay Koimuttum VTSEVA Seattle Jai Srimannarayana! My name is Chinmay Koimuttum, and I have been on the VTSEVA youth board for two years. I was drawn into VTSEVA by witnessing the support and guidance that the youth board is provided with by all of our adults and mentors. This guidance and inspiration are what motivated me to help run the 13 Day Shred and the Grocery Delivery Project. I am extremely thankful to both Aakarsh and Pranav, as well as everyone who participated and volunteered to make these programs successful. My name is Pranav, and I worked alongside other members of VTSEVA to take part in "The 13 Day Shred". I was interested in helping create videos for this series because I found it hard to continuously exercise during the past few months, so I wanted to eliminate this problem for others. By providing exercise videos every couple of days, people will stay motivated to keep fit during these times. I also took part in the Grocery Delivery program. I was motivated to help because I knew that I was making a positive difference in our community. While delivering food does not sound complicated, it helps many people who previously did not have access to the amount of food that many of us take for granted. Hello! My name is Aakarsh and I have had the privilege of serving on the VTSeva youth board for the past two years. My association with VTSeva has not only helped me embrace and understand the true spirit of volunteerism, but more importantly, VTSeva has allowed me to truly grasp the meaning of empathizing with the people around us. With every initiative that is carried out, the transformative impact that is created on countless lives make the VTSeva experience a fulfilling, cathartic journey. During the Covid-19 pandemic, I and a few of my VTSeva friends created the Grocery Delivery Project with the intention of providing non-perishable food donations to those reeling from the effects of the pandemic. We executed this plan by picking up donations from the doorstep of interested donors and delivering those donations to local food banks while abiding to all Covid-19 health guidelines. We were blessed to have raised over 1500 pounds of donations during the course of our project and we are proud that our small efforts contributed towards putting food on someone’s plate during these tough times. During this pandemic, I also co-created the 13-day shred program which was designed to motivate people to work out during the pandemic by providing videos, every other day, of simple workouts for people of all ages. Our goal with this program was to encourage our viewers to adopt a healthier lifestyle and instill the discipline of working out on a continual basis. THANK YOU

During this pandemic, Bharat and Her History was created in order to provide an easy way for families and kids to learn about Indian history. Classes were structured and created in an easily understandable format, allowing for people of all ages to be able to engage with the classes in a meaningful way. Through this program, we managed to teach 60 families about Indian history from the ancient times all the way to the beginnings of the colonial era. Thank you to our wonderful volunteers and teachers (Kiran Vangala, Chinmay Koimuttum, and Swadesh Sistla) for devoting many hours to organizing, planning, and preparing the classes and lesson plans. The PowerPoints and presentations were designed in a way to be both informative, captivating, and entertaining for the kids and families that joined these classes. Once a week, over the course of four weeks, we were able to present segments of Indian history in a concise and chronologically sound format. Classes covered significant wars, inner politics, external politics, major empires and dynasties, exceptional heroes, significant kings and queens, foreign invasions, indigenous resistance, and many aspects of Indian history that are quite substantial to India’s history but remain undiscussed. It is our hope that these classes would inspire and trigger a spark of desire to learn more about the plethora that is Indian history. We also wish that it would provide some inspiration for the youngsters present to delve deeper into the history of their own ancestors and culture, allowing them to remain connected to the ethos of India despite living abroad. Thanks to our partnership with JETUSA, we were able to connect with families all over the country, allowing the impact of this program to extend beyond the boundaries of Seattle. It is our hope that this program impacted and inspired the families and youth watching to learn more about the history of India. Thank you, Chinmay Koimuttum VTSEVA Seattle Jai Srimannarayana! My name is Chinmay Koimuttum, and I have been on the VTSEVA youth board for two years. One of the many incredible aspects of VTSEVA that I love is the support and guidance that the youth board is provided with by all of our adults and mentors. I initially fell in love with Indian history after learning about the marvelous life of Maharana Pratap, which eventually led me to explore further about the history of India.

Amidst the recent pandemic, VT SEVA’s Seattle branch came together to create Virtual Reading for Kids , a program made to support families affected by the stay-at-home order in which entertainment, daycare, and other child services were limited. Through the program, we not only provided a fun and engaging activity for kids bi-weekly, but also raised money for VT SEVA’s Covid Relief Fund from participating families. Twice a week, volunteers of all ages came to read stories from picture books to Indian classic comics to short chapter books over Webex. Through our program’s webpage, children from across the nation were able to easily join sessions from our online links and enjoy a virtual read-along from the comfort of their home. Through our efforts we were able to attract kids from Washington, Ohio, California, North Carolina, Texas, and many more. Furthermore, we attracted many passionate volunteers ranging from adults to elementary students eager to converse and support others in their community during these stressful times — in turn, increasing VT SEVA’s footprint across households previously unaware of the organization. Madhavi Vivek VT SEVA Seattle Hello, my name is Madhavi Vivek and I am a rising senior at Liberty High School in Renton, Washington. In my free time I like to swim, attend hackathons, and travel. I joined VT Seva in 2016 and have been a part of the youth board ever since. I was drawn to VT Seva because I resonated with their mission statement and believed they could provide me with many opportunities to work alongside like-minded individuals passionate about giving back to their community through service. I am glad to be a part of this team and be able to contribute through programs like the Virtual Reading Program in which I led this year. Here are some photos from our sessions: (view more on our website at https://virtualreadingforkids.weebly.com/more.html )

Amidst the recent pandemic, VTSEVA’s Seattle branch collaborated to create Coding With Compassion, an online program made to support students affected by the stay-at-home order and challenge them to continue using their problem-solving and interpersonal skills. Through this program, we taught 100 students various programming languages and leadership skills needed in the work industry and raised money to provide underprivileged children with a free education. Thank you to our flawless teachers and volunteers ( Kiran Vanagala, Santhi Kanumuri, Sethu Srinivasan, Praveen Bantwal, Upendar Sandadi, Pavan Vovveti, Priyatham Burgadda, Uttam Indukuri, and Aditi Srinivasan) who put in countless hours making lesson plans for different age groups throughout the entire summer. We created weekly curriculum's, slideshows, and various activities that would keep the kids engaged in both aspects: coding and leadership. Twice a week, teen and adult volunteers taught students coding languages such as Python, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript over a course of a few months on Webex. Along with these technical courses, a leadership curriculum was incorporated to equip students with the essential interpersonal skills required to work in a group environment successfully. Children from across the nation were able to sign up through our website and enjoy coding/leadership lessons from the comfort of their homes. It was remarkable to know that our lessons on both these disciplines would serve as a strong foundation for the kids’ diverse future goals and endeavors regardless of their chosen field. With our online presence, we were able to attract kids from Washington, Texas, California, Nevada, Ohio, North Carolina, and many more. Furthermore, many participating kids were motivated to follow in the footsteps of our volunteers and support others in their community, increasing VTSEVA’s footprint across households throughout the nation. Thank You, Aditi Srinivasan VTSEVA Seattle ! I am Aditi, and I have been a youth board Lead at VTSEVA Seattle for four years. At first, I joined this unique organization as a selfless volunteer after being inspired by my grandfather. He continued to help his community by being the Secretary of the Indian Red Cross even during his retirement life. What really drove me to stay committed for multiple years at VTSEVA was the open-mindedness of the adults who respected and incorporated the youth’s ideas into our events and the variety of societal issues we address: education, healthcare, disaster relief, etc. Coding has always been one of my interests. I have recently been passionate about conducting research at the intersection of computer science and linguistics to create technology that effectively bridges gaps in communication. It was such an honor to establish and organize the Coding With Compassion program alongside our adult volunteers and pass on my programming knowledge to such bright and promising kids. The fact that the money we raised through this program helps underprivileged children pursue their education makes this experience twice as satisfying! Volunteering shouldn’t be about the service hours required for school or the National Presidential Service Award. It should come from the heart, and I hope to see many more youth join VTSEVA, bring ideas to the table, and create a memorable impact on our community! Our Team

VT Seva Seattle Youth team conducted several virtual classes during this pandemic. They worked to in ensuring that all family members are engaged and entertained during the stay-at-home orders. One of the classes was virtual dance lessons. Every Saturday, volunteers from Seattle’s youth board would choreograph and virtually teach portions of a song to people of all ages. With classes being virtual, our program was able to attract participants from across the nation, including states like Washington, California, Georgia, and many more. By offering an opportunity to engage with others virtually, VT Seva gained the attention of many participants ( Parents and Kids ) for their unique approach and their estimable efforts. As a result, VT Seva gained many new youth and adult volunteers eager to support our organization's mission. Thank you to all of those that participated in the Dance With Us program. We hope that you are all doing well and staying safe. Thank you, Esha Bantwal VT Seva Seattle Hello everyone! My name is Esha Bantwal and I have been on VT Seva’s youth board for two years and have been a volunteer for several more. I have also been a part of VT Seva’s unique summer internship opportunity in which groups of young volunteers get to visit the Indian remote villages that VT Seva supports. Our purpose was to teach the children there English and instead we learned a lot more lessons about life! My involvement with VT Seva started because of my visits to India. Unfortunately, there are pockets of the population that do not get the necessities they should have. Seeing these people and the circumstances they live in for years on end pushed me to make a change. And, I decided to start small by joining VT Seva. VT Seva’s unique mission and my own desire to help those in need worldwide attracted me to this organization. It is not only Indian underprivileged and visually-challenged children that VT Seva supports, but also people (of all ages and ethnicities) suffering from natural disasters, diseases (e.g. breast cancer), and poverty. Through VT Seva I have had wonderful opportunities to serve my community; one of them being through dance. Dance has been something I’ve invested my time into since I was seven years old. It’s something I enjoy doing and has become a part of my routine. That being said, I’m very happy that I got to be a part of Dance with Us alongside Aditi, another youth board volunteer, to teach and engage others through dance. In addition to dance and other activities, volunteering has become a part of my routine. And, the fact that many young dancers who joined this summer’s virtual dance program are eager to do the same makes it all the better. Young leaders are always welcome at VT Seva and I hope to see more of you all joining soon! Few glimpses of the classes are below

In the course of the past few months, Seattle's VT Seva Youth Board held virtual cooking classes every week to support families across the country during the pandemic. Our mission through this program was to alleviate stress among families by hosting a welcoming and interactive environment online. Through our Virtual Cooking Class program, we created a safe space where communities could come together to socialize and share their experiences over great cooking and baking recipes. Every Saturday afternoon, we held a cooking class hosted by our many VT Seva Youth volunteers. Each volunteer shared one of their favorite recipes to others across the nation, allowing for families to adopt new cooking techniques and recipes to keep them engaged at home. We were delighted to meet with participants from across the country, prompting us to expand our volunteers and continue our classes. Through this successful program, we were able to elicit interest in not only our program, a fun and productive way to spend time during the stay-at-home order, but our VT Seva organization as well. Thank you, Sumedha Kanumuri VTSEVA Seattle Website: https://virtualcookingclasses.weebly.com/ Hi! My name is Sumedha Kanumuri and I am a rising junior at Skyline High School in Sammamish, WA. I have been part of the Seattle VTSEVA Youth Board for about 1 year now and I have participated and volunteered in several annual events and fundraisers these past years. Outside of VTSEVA, I enjoy rowing and being creative whether it’s through drawing, small projects or cooking. I love to cook and bake at h ome and I was inspired to lead the VTSEVA Virtual Cooking Classes to share some of my recipes as well as learn new ones from other kids. I enjoyed creating a safe, virtual environment in order for kids to have fun and also bring a smile to their faces during these hard times. As a person, I strongly believe in having an interactive and strong community whether it is virtually or in-person. My experiences with the VTSEVA youth board and the cooking classes has helped me with building that goal. Pictures from our Virtual Classes:
