The 3 Pillars of Seva Philanthropy - Members of Seva actively volunteer with local charities and schools in the Austin area to fulfill the philanthropy pillar. In the past members have worked to help clean local parks and assist nearby animal shelters. Global - Our global pillar is driven by our work with Akshaya Patra. We raise money to provide meals to children across the world so they that can focus on school and worry about working towards their dreams instead of working for their next meal. Local - Seva holds large-scale events and fundraisers throughout the year such as our annual banquet, petting zoo's and bake sales that are open to the entire University of Austin at Texas community.
