It’s about making sure that their basic needs are met so they can continue to focus on their education, goals, and dreams. Leading this initiative in Austin has been an incredibly rewarding experience. It’s not just about fundraising for meals—it’s about building a bridge of care, connection, and shared purpose. I see the patrons of this program provide a powerful message to the students with every contribution - We see you, we believe in you, and we’re with you.Thank you, VT Seva, for the opportunity to be part of this beautiful journey.

Additionally, under the Arogya Vikas banner, camps are organized for Pediatrics, Dermatology, Ophthalmology, Cardiology, and Dentistry. Moreover, the India wing also offers Ayurvedic healthcare services. How You Can Help: - You can donate directly to healthcare camps here (once you click on the donation form, you can choose "health care" for one-time or recurring donations). Why Donate?
