VT Seva - Volunteering For Service

Seattle, WA- October 11, 2014 - What started a three years ago as a small mission to support a few visually challenged kids has transformed into a mass movement through annual event "UTSAV" in Seattle. UTSAV was a tremendous success with participation of 108 children and attendance of over 650 generous people believing in the cause. Donations crossed over $100,000 and still counting.

Dallas, TX - October 5, 2014 - It was a beautiful, bright Sunday morning over at the Russell Creek Park in Dallas, Texas where VT Seva hosted fourth annual 5K Walk-A-Thon. The theme of the event was to raise Cancer Awareness, support the fighters, admire the survivors and honor the taken! A big pat on the back of every volunteer and supporter for making the walk-a-thon a big success!! We had more than 350 walk registrants who took part in the battle against Cancer, an oncologist educating all the participants on awareness/prevention steps, an organ donation drive, a bone marrow drive and above all, we had a great participation from the YOUTH. Yes! We have exceeded our goal by reaching double the target for this year to sponsor Cancer screenings (200) and procuring a digital colposcope.

Hyderabad, India - September 22, 2014 - As better teaching faculty is available in the main city of Hyderabad compared to Shamshabad area, VT Seva CEO HH Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji has decided to shift Netra Vidyalaya Degree College (College for visually challenged) classes from JIVA campus, Sriramanagar to JET Building @ Domalguda. Two mini buses are procured by VT SEVA for Netra Vidyalaya Degree College to enable the same. Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji inaugurated the bus travel on September 22nd, 2014 and everyday, the boarding students commute to Domalguda in these buses in the morning, attend classes there and come back in the evening to Hostel. The classes started on the same day at new campus inaugurated by HH Sri Devanatha Jeeyar Swami, youth volunteers of VT Seva, teaching & administrative staff of college and the students themselves. - in Hyderabad, India.
