Students at Middle School, High School and/or at College are encouraged to apply. Fundraise at your own/group's schedule.
International SEVA is seeking a group of students to help fund raise for children's back packs and school kits to be sent to Gujarat, India and to Central Africa for the autistic, down syndrome children. COVID-19 caused a major setback for these children's education. This donation is to encourage and motivate them to go to school and help excel at their maximum potential. The quality and selection of school items received from USA brings bigger smiles and hope for a brighter future for the teachers, students and the local community.
The activities would entail selling pizza kits, 100% natural soy candles, food specialty, or any other item of interest to your team members. There must be a designated team lead to plan, coordinate and execute to make this event a success. We are open for suggestions and recommendations.
Thank you for your interest. When applying, provide details of what school & grade you are in, what your interest is, belong to any club(s) and have any experience as a team lead? No experience individuals are encouraged to apply.
Wishing you and your family Best of Health,
Team International SEVA
