With the slow down in IT industry, most companies have delayed the joining dates for fresh Engineering graduates and many of them have over 6 months time before they start working. Few students decided to make the most out of this break and are volunteering full time for 6 months in the recently started ‘Seva Fellowship’ program. Youth for Seva is proud to recognize and express our gratitude towards our first four fellowship volunteers: Naveen, Vankatesh, Yogesh, and Somashekhar.

This year’s Rakhi celebrations were very different for the YFS volunteers. Unlike the previous years when they exchanged Rakhis with brothers/sisters at home, we extended the boundaries of our home and experienced the joy of tying Rakhis to children at orphanages and government schools.

Often we come across people from all ages who would like to share their personal problems and seek some guidance. It could be our friends, children and families we work with in slums or government schools or our colleagues at work place.
Understanding basics of counseling and developing the skills required is of much value to all of us. Here is an opportunity to attend such a workshop from a renowned psychiatrist and teacher Dr.Rajaram.
Dr.Rajaram did his PhD on Alcoholism and is currently a faculty at NIMHANS. He works with UNICEF and travels around the world conducting workshops for counselors at all levels.

Happy Independence Day! I don't know the reason, but somehow this day each year spurs me to write something. I feel the strong urge to let my beloved friends know of my dreams and thoughts about our great country. Before I go any further - Wish you all a very happy Independence Day! India turns 61 today. Today, we get a chance to bow in reverence to the thousands of freedom fighters who put their homeland before everything else and fought the British oppressors. Their struggle finally bore fruit and we got our Independence 61 years back on this day.
