Sewa AmeriCorps Summer Camp Enables Young Learners

Atlanta, GA — July 27, 2026 — Sewa International recently concluded its four-week Sewa
AmeriCorps Summer Camp 2026, providing K–8 students with an engaging summer learning
experience. The camp combined STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)
education, financial literacy, leadership development, civic engagement, and service-learning,
attracting about 68 students. Through hands-on activities, guest speakers, outdoor learning, and
collaborative projects, the camp helped prevent summer learning loss while strengthening critical
thinking, creativity, teamwork, and social-emotional skills.

The camp offered a curriculum designed to prepare students for success both inside and outside
the classroom. Weekly themes included STEM exploration, civic responsibility, financial
literacy, and leadership, giving campers practical opportunities to solve problems, build
confidence, and develop a lifelong commitment to community service.
"Our goal was to create an environment where children could continue learning, build
confidence, and develop a spirit of service during the summer. Watching our campers grow
academically, socially, and personally over four weeks was incredibly rewarding. Their

enthusiasm, curiosity, and compassion reflected the true purpose of the program," said Varsha
Chauhan, Program Director of Sewa International AmeriCorps, Atlanta.

The closing ceremony featured student presentations, including STEM demonstrations, science
experiments, community-themed skits, and engineering projects such as a solar-powered car, a
mechanical hand, and Newton's Pendulum. Campers also demonstrated the yoga practice they
developed throughout the program. Sewa recognized the contributions of its LEAD (Leadership,
Education, and Development) high school volunteers, AmeriCorps members, teachers, and
community partners, including Georgia Serves, local parks and recreation departments, Happy
Helpings, MealsPro, and other organizations whose support helped make the camp possible.
