About Hearts and Paws: A Weekend Bond

Founded in 2022, the community outreach program Hearts and Paws: A Weekend Bond was established by Aarti Chaudhary, a dedicated high school student and author of "Spreading Love and Kindness with Band-Aids and Hugs: A First Aid Guide for Kids." With a strong passion for public health and a deep commitment to making a difference, Aarti actively volunteers in hospitals and nursing homes during her free time. Her diverse experiences, which include authoring a research paper on cultural competency in cardiology and its impact on Asian Americans, reflect her unwavering dedication to promoting well-being and fostering meaningful connections within her community.
