State Street Volunteers Spark Joy and Learning in Geddalahalli

State Street Volunteers Brighten Young Minds in Geddalahalli

On August 1st & 2nd, 2025, 25 dedicated State Street volunteers brought our Backpacks for Dreams 2.0 campaign to life at Government Lower Primary School, Geddalahalli, Byrathi, Karnataka.

On the first day, we set up our workspace to pack 170 school kits, complete with notebooks, pencils, pens, and sketchbooks. Each kit was made heartfelt by a hand-painted greeting card, complete with study tips and uplifting messages.

The next morning, those 170 backpacks found their way into the eager hands of students in Grades 1–5. Their wide-eyed smiles and whispered thanks reminded us that sometimes it only takes a simple notebook and a few kind words to spark confidence and a sense of belonging.

A heartfelt thank you to every State Street volunteer whose time, paintbrushes, and smiles made this possible. We’re proud to stand alongside you and the students of Geddalahalli on their journey to learn, grow, and dream.
