Glen Allen, Virginia | March 30, 2026

As part of the Keep Henrico Beautiful project, volunteers from Love to Share Foundation America participated in a biannual service event focused on maintaining a native flower garden in Glen Allen, Virginia. The event, held on March 30, 2026, brought together nine dedicated volunteers in support of the County of Henrico.

During the two-hour initiative, volunteers worked diligently to enhance the garden by removing weeds, clearing dead plants, pruning vegetation, and planting new native species. Their efforts helped restore the garden’s vitality and ensure it continues to thrive as a community resource.

The garden features a diverse selection of native Virginia flowers, which play a vital role in supporting local ecosystems by attracting pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. Maintaining these native plants contributes to environmental sustainability and biodiversity in the region.

This recurring event highlights the commitment of Love to Share Foundation America to community service and environmental stewardship. Through active volunteerism, the organization continues to make a meaningful impact on preserving green spaces.

The County of Henrico benefits directly from this initiative, as the well-maintained garden remains a vibrant and environmentally significant space for residents and visitors alike.

Empathic Family Connections workshop

A Value Based Workshop for Families

What if the most powerful thing you could give your child isn't a rule, but a strong sense of self?

That was one of the most powerful insights from the Empathic Family Connections workshop, hosted by Love to Share Foundation America (LTSFA) through their EPIC Parenting Initiative.

Speakers Deepak Vinod and Dinesh Ramanan led an engaging, interactive session that reframed parenting not as a biological duty, but as a sacred spiritual responsibility and one of the greatest opportunities for personal growth.
Some key takeaways:

✅ Values are transferred through connection, not correction

✅ A child's character is their internal compass, shaping decisions around relationships, integrity, and technology

✅ Everyday moments like car rides, household chores, and mealtimes are opportunities for deep connection and value transfer

✅ Linking actions to who a child is at their core rather than to authority builds intrinsic motivation

✅ Parenting is a lifelong learning journey for the child and the parent alike

The workshop drew participants from around the world, reflecting a growing global community of parents committed to raising children grounded in empathy, purpose, and values.

A big thank you to the organizing team at LTSFA and to all the participants who brought their openness and experiences to the conversation.

What is Diabetes?

A metabolic condition caused by insufficient insulin production or poor insulin sensitivity

Results in elevated blood glucose levels — diagnosed as diabetes mellitus

Managed through both medication and nutrition

The 3 Key Macronutrients

Carbohydrates — break down into simple sugars/glucose; primary fuel for the body

Protein — supports muscle building, tissue repair, and wear & tear

Fat — provides insulation and concentrated calories

How Glucose Works in the Body

Insulin (produced by the pancreas) uses glucose to power all bodily activities. Dietary carbs are stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen. When carbs are avoided long-term, the body draws on glycogen stores for energy. The Diabetes MyPlate Method (see plate diagram)

½ plate → Non-starchy vegetables & fruits (broccoli, spinach, carrots, berries, apple)

¼ plate → Lean protein (chicken, fish, legumes/dal, tofu, lean meat)

¼ plate → Carb foods (rice, roti, pasta, noodles)

+ Non-caloric beverage (water, unsweetened tea/coffee)

🚶 Community Walk at Tom Bass Park, Houston

Following the nutrition talk, 15 community members participated in a walk at Tom Bass Park

The walk was a wonderful opportunity to put lifestyle recommendations into action, combining nutrition education with physical activity — both essential pillars of diabetes management

Seattle Community Unites to Deliver Nearly 300 Toys to Families in Need

When a community comes together with a shared purpose, the impact reaches far beyond the physical gifts exchanged. This season, the Seattle chapter of Love to Share Foundation America, in partnership with Inspire Love, Inspire Care Foundation, witnessed that spirit in action.

Thanks to the generosity of neighbors across the region, nearly 300 toys were collected and donated to bring smiles and joy to children and families in need. The toy drive reflected the power of unity, compassion, and collective action—demonstrating how small acts of giving can create lasting happiness.

The initiative was led by a dedicated team of volunteers—Prahlad Shankar, Aditya Rajesh, Dhruv Iyer, Anirvedh Ameti, Adharv Ameti, Gurudas Muthukaruppan, and Priyadharshini Muthukaruppan—who coordinated the collection, organization, and delivery of the donated gifts.

The toys were distributed to several local organizations serving families across the region, including:

• KidVantage

• Friends of Youth

• Bethlehem Place

• FamilyWorks

Each organization plays a vital role in supporting children and families facing economic challenges, and the donations helped ensure that more families experienced warmth and joy during the season.

The success of this drive stands as a testament to what is possible when community members unite with compassion and purpose. While the toys brought immediate smiles, the greater gift was the reminder that kindness multiplies when shared.
