Sanvrit Mohanty: I study at Menomonee Falls, I’m in 9th grade and I like Sewa because you get to have fun while help people and developing yourself. One event I liked was the lakeshore state park cleanup because it was nice to take a morning stroll next to Lake Michigan and pick up trash.

Gargi Kelkar: Hi! I'm Gargi Kelkar. I am an 8th grader from Brookfield, Wisconsin. I enjoy doing Sewa because I get to have fun while also caring for and helping my community. I have led multiple activities at the Hebron House of hospitality (Sandwich making, Making welcome packets, and making snack packets). I like volunteering at the Hebron House because I knew that I was making a difference in someone's life, even if it was a small one. I also conducted fun games and activities for children at the Ekal Fundraiser concert, and organized and participated in the 2021 Fun Fair to raise funds for toilets in India. I also collected 100 lbs. of food for the Sewa-Diwali food drive with some of my friends. I also help organize leadership development sessions every week for teenagers like me (Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh).

Riya Tanwar: I am a senior at Franklin High School. Being a SEWA Lead is enjoyable because I get a structured way to be able to help people and a group of volunteers whom I can present new opportunities to. Helping those in need and protecting the environment are my two favorite parts of sewa. My favorite event to date was our recent bench making event where we constructed benches to serve DNR parks. SEWA helps us to internalize the values of altruism and service.

Ankita Hegde: I go to Homestead in Mequon. I will be in 10th grade. Sewa helps many people who aren’t as fortunate as some of us, we help to provide stuff like food and clothes. I liked tree planting because it always nice to help the planet become a healthier and better place! I liked cooking for the homeless shelter because is was really fun and I was proud to provide food for those who cannot afford food!

Arshia Parashar: Hello, my name is Arshia and I will be going into 9th grade at Hamilton High School. I enjoy volunteering because I can learn so many new skills while helping out my community. A few events that I enjoyed in Sewa include the bench making workshop in which I learned many new skills. Another fun event was the fun fair which taught me how to organize events and along with that, our group was able to raise money for a charitable cause!
