    Description

    Help Collect Bidding Items for Online Auction

    Attention Students!

    Are you a Middle School, High School, or College student looking to make an impact? We invite you to apply to help us raise funds for an important cause!

    International SEVA is seeking enthusiastic student volunteers to reach out to local vendors for donations for our Online Auction scheduled for Spring 2025. We’ve already received some fantastic items, and we need your help to gather more!

    Why Get Involved?

    The funds raised will provide tablets, computers, and electronics for 1,100 underprivileged, orphaned, and special needs children living in rural Gujarat, India. These children often lack access to technology and play equipment, hindering their education and development. Your efforts will help empower them to reach their full potential, bringing joy and hope to both students and teachers in their communities.

    Who Can Participate?

    Students from Fairfax and Loudoun Counties in Virginia, Montgomery and Howard Counties in Maryland, and Fort Bend County in Texas are encouraged to join. Ensure all items can be bid on in these counties and beyond!

    How You Can Help:

    Here are some exciting ways you can contribute to our auction:

    • Collect Gift Vouchers: Reach out to salons, spas, cafes, and bakeries for vouchers.
    • Gather Merchandise: Request gift certificates from grocery stores, retail outlets, and local restaurants.
    • Create Gift Baskets: Assemble baskets with toys, gourmet food, art supplies, and books for younger children-always a hit!
    • Donations of Experiences: Seek travel tickets (with or without lodging) and local adventure experiences.
    • Healthcare Services: Ask local practitioners for free dental cleanings, vision tests, or health check-ups.
    • Promotional Coupons: Gather car wash vouchers or coupon booklets for pizza and donuts.
    • Unique Items: Look for signed memorabilia, antiques, or event tickets.
    • Educational Offers: Arrange for free online tutoring sessions or family photo shoots.
    Ready to Make an Impact?

    If you're interested in participating or have questions, please check your junk folder for our response and thank you for your commitment to creating brighter futures! Together, we can bring smiles and opportunities to those who need them most.

    Wishing you and your family Best of Health,

    Team International SEVA
