VT Seva-Detroit

Mission
VT Seva’s mission is to promote understanding and tolerance in society by empowering our youth with value of volunteering and philanthropy. In turn, our youth will learn how to plan, develop, and implement projects for protection of animals and environment, promote free health programs, provide quality education and life skills to underprivileged families, help organize disaster relief programs in time of need, and build bridges between different communities. We focus our activities in four major areas:
Provide education to under privileged children and to build schools in remote tribal areas in India
Provide education to blind children/youth
Spread awareness about cancer and provide facilities for early cancer detection in impoverished communities
Spread awareness about being environmentally friendly and protecting our mother earth


Vision
VT Seva's vision is to see all children and adults of the impoverished communities of India and other countries have access and opportunities to quality education and health care and enable them to live with dignity and pride. What we do
VT Seva organization was established in 2008 in US, with a mission to empower the youth with values of volunteerism, and to reach out the underprivileged people around the world. We provide a platform for enthusiastic volunteers, especially youth, to take leadership roles and execute service projects in their communities. VT Seva is all about Youth! We recognize that Happy Volunteers are the key to success for this Organization's mission. VT Seva addresses the need to bring the youth and adults to one cause, one vision, one mission, and one organization by bridging the gap between youth and adult volunteers. VT Seva youth are taking leadership roles in team building, group projects, planning, organizing and executing events to support organization's mission. Volunteering Together, as a team, as an organization, regardless of our age/skills/experience, we work passionately and enthusiastically towards VT's vision, making a great difference in our Communities and our World. Our Sister organization, VT India ( Vikasa Tarangini ), was founded and established by our CEO in 1992 in South India, with the mission to reach the less fortunate, and to provide immediate relief during natural disasters. Today, with more than 75,000 volunteers,
We tirelessly work in remote corners of India, building schools - for tribal children, fishermen children, blind children. The children in these schools are provided free education, boarding, food, clothing, books. Our volunteers are organizing medical camps, promoting prevention and care of cancers; and also conducting Dental and Veteranarian camps. We started the First Junior College for the visually Impaired in Andhra Pradesh. Currently has 71 Students. The students of the college, for the first time in India, gave examinations on computers without scribes. 95% successfully graduated this year. VT Seva's Quick Response Team during natural disasters, renders public services on the field providing food, clothing, shelter, temporary housing, medicines. After the devastating tsumani in 2005, A colony (community) of 50 houses was built in the coastal areas of Pumpuhar in Tamilnadu to provide permanent residence to the tsunami victims. Several hundred houses were built for thousands of earthquake victims who were left without shelter during the most destructive earthquake in Surat, Gujarat in 2001. VTSeva also built 86 houses in a colony (neighborhood) for the earthquake victims in Vallabhapur, Gujarat, India.
