As part of this yearâ€™s annual Seva Day, volunteers from the Manor community picked litter and removed fly-tipping from Composers Park in Elstree.

Meanwhile, 150 volunteers of all ages helped in the harvesting of over 6 tonnes of potatoes from one of Bhaktivedanta Manorâ€™s fields designated for horticulture.

Another Seva Day contribution included a team of devotees who work for Ernst and Young, Network Rail and Barclays Capital, who cooked vegetarian meals for the homeless in Watfordâ€™s YMCA.

â€œOn Seva Day, thousands of good-hearted people across the world come together to perform voluntary Seva (service) to the community and experience the joy of giving in its truest sense,â€ explained Seva Day Chairman Anup Ganguly during their recent conference held at Bhaktivedanta Manor. â€œThis year people from 70 countries will take part in Seva Day to one degree or another, including Indonesia and Chinaâ€.
