Youth for Seva, State Street Volunteers Lead Enriching Zoo Learning Trip for MPPS Raidurg Students

In a heartwarming initiative, the Youth for Seva (YFS) Hyderabad team organized an educational trip to Nehru Zoological Park on 13 November for 53 enthusiastic 5th-grade students from MPPS Raidurg.

The visit was supported by 15 volunteers from State Street, who played a key role in ensuring a meaningful learning experience. To provide personal attention and guidance, the students were divided into small groups of four, each accompanied by a dedicated volunteer acting as a mentor and companion throughout the day.

From exploring the vibrant fish aquarium to observing the unique species in the nocturnal bird house, the children engaged in experiential learning beyond the classroom. The volunteers added a special touch by helping students with ID cards, answering their questions, and sharing in their excitement as they discovered the wonders of wildlife.

Youth for Seva expressed sincere gratitude to the State Street team, the school staff, and YFS coordinators for transforming a simple field trip into an unforgettable memory filled with care, connection, and curiosity.
