SOCIAL IMPACT
At BeTotallyU, we believe that true character shines when we use our time and talents to help others. By volunteering and giving back, young people don’t just help others—they discover their own strengths, grow in confidence, and become part of a generation that cares deeply about making the world a better place.
BeTotallyU has donated 1000 BeTotallyU Children's Activity Books to World Vision, a global humanitarian organization dedicated to improving the lives of children and families in need. World Vision is a partner of the United Nations and works in nearly 100 countries, addressing poverty, education, health, and child protection, with the goal of empowering communities to build brighter futures.
"I wanted to extend my sincere thanks for your generous donation of the “Be Totally U” activity books. They made a bigger impact than I could have imagined!
​​
At first, the kids were hesitant—they naturally gravitated toward their devices. But within minutes of opening the books, they were quietly reading, drawing, and fully engaged. It was wonderful to see their attention shift so quickly and completely. The activity books kept them happily occupied while their parents participated in a school workshop, which was a huge help.
​​
Even more telling, every child chose to take their book home—they weren’t ready to stop! That kind of enthusiasm speaks volumes. ​Thank you again for this meaningful contribution".

Sunrise Association offers inclusive summer day camps and all-year round programs for children with cancer and their siblings completely free of charge. They have programs across the US and around the world.
BeTotallyU has partnered with Sunrise Associations to distribute the A to Z Children's Activity Books to children in hospitals through the Sunrise on Wheels Program. Books will be supplied to meet the needs of the children in the NY/NJ area and will be expanded to other chapters across the US and abroad.
"The Sunrise Association is so grateful to receive the BeTotallyU activity books. We work with children with cancer, some who are at the hospital for many hours, days or weeks for treatment. The activity books are such a welcome and special offering for us to share with children, teens and parents. They are filled with pages and pages of wonderful, interesting, exciting, and most of all, FUN activities. Each page discusses a special character trait, explaining in kid-friendly language what it is, and then presents a related puzzle or activity. Readers can then scan QR codes on each page to access short videos with even more meaningful things to do. BeTotallyU is an incredible product of the high school student author Bhoomi Jobanputra."
