HSS Valmiki shakha Allentown got an incredible opportunity to thank the brave team at Upper Macungie Township Police Department
for their selfless service to the community. This is the spirit of Raksha Bandhan, or Universal Oneness Connection.
A group of our young volunteers tied the ceremonial 'rakhi' on the wrists of the staff of UMTPD and prayed for their safety.
