Three community-led fundraisers across Greater Houston came together with one shared purpose — supporting Sewa International’s Nepal Flood Relief & Rehabilitation efforts. Together, they raised over $32,000 to support Nepalese affected by the devastating floods.
Sargam Melodies, in partnership with Bharathi Kalai Manram and Shri Krishna Vrundavana, brought the community together through an evening of music and dinner, raising $12,000+ with performances in Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Tamil and Malayalam. Bharat Patel, Sewa Houston’s Case Manager received the contribution.
Bhajagovindam at Sri Meenakshi Temple, Pearland brought together 100+ attendees, followed by presentation of a $10,000 check for Nepal relief. Tarvinder Taneja, Sewa’s Community Resilience Manager, shared updates on Sewa’s work on the ground in Nepal.
“Brunch for a Cause” surpassed its $10,000 goal, bringing families, children, volunteers and local businesses together to prepare hundreds of meals. 100% of the proceeds went toward Nepal Flood Relief. Volunteers prepared hundreds of idlis, vadas, chutneys, sambar, sweets and other meals, while families and children helped coordinate pickups, deliveries and last-minute logistics throughout the day.
The impact goes beyond immediate relief. Sewa International continues supporting affected families in Nepal as communities move toward long-term recovery, rehabilitation and rebuilding.
Thousands of miles away, Houstonians are standing with Nepal — turning compassion into action.

Senior Sewa Sugar Land Group gathered on Saturday, September 19, 2026, for a session that mattered more than most because in today's world, a single phone call can undo a lifetime of savings. Sugar Land Police Officer Arif Vadsaria joined the seniors' meeting to talk about something we'd all rather not think about: how easily scammers target the people we love most. Scams today don't announce themselves they sound like a utility company threatening a shut-off, a bank flagging "suspicious activity," a sweepstakes win, or an online friendship that slowly turns into a request for money. Officer Vadsaria also flagged one of the cruelest schemes — fraudsters scanning obituaries to prey on grieving spouses with fake debt claims.
His advice, in four simple rules:
* Never wire money, send gift cards, or transfer crypto to someone you don't fully know.
* Don't click links in unexpected texts or emails.
* Verify urgent demands by calling the company directly — not the number given to you.
* Let your bank or payment app handle disputes; never refund a stranger yourself.
But the real takeaway went beyond the scams themselves. It was a reminder that vigilance is a community effort — that looking out for one another, and talking openly about what to watch for, is what keeps everyone safe.

Viksit Bharat Run 2026 – A Celebration of Unity, Pride & Community! 🇮🇳
Sewa Houston proudly led the Viksit Bharat Run 2026, jointly organized by the Consulate General of India, Houston, and the Indian diaspora community, on September 20th at John Paul Landing Park. This year’s celebration was especially meaningful as we commemorate India’s 80th Independence Day and the 250th Anniversary of the United States’ Independence . It was a high-energy morning from the very beginning! Our dedicated volunteers started setting up at 6:00 am with participants arriving for check-in from 6:30 AM. The morning featured:
🏃‍♀️ Energizing warm-up exercises
🇮🇳 🇺🇸 National Anthems
🎙️ Address from the Consulate General of India
👏 Recognition from Precinct 4 – Commissioner Lesley Briones’ office
🏃‍♂️ 5K/3K Walk & Run starting at 8:00 AM
🏅 Medal distribution
🍽️ Breakfast and community fellowship
More than 600 participants—from young children and youth to adults and seniors—came together and thoroughly enjoyed the event.
Beyond the walk/run, there was something deeply meaningful about the morning. As the Tiranga fluttered proudly, everyone sang along with the National Anthem, and members of our next generation experienced that special pulse of patriotism. It was a beautiful reminder of our connection to our motherland and our shared sense of duty. It was wonderful to see the Greater Houston Indian community come together in such a spirit of unity, pride, and celebration of Viksit Bharat!
🙏 Thank you to the Consulate General of India, our partner organizations, volunteers, participants, and the entire community for making Viksit Bharat Run 2026 such a memorable celebration.

Together, we run. Together, we celebrate. Together, we build a Viksit Bharat. 🇮🇳❤️
