Muskaan Vasandani
As a student passionate about art and majoring in biology, UR StrongART provided the perfect opportunity for me to combine my interests and at the same time volunteer for a wonderful cause. Going through radiation and chemo therapy can be extremely painful and arduous for little kids, and painting fun masks for them is the least we can do to make their treatment a little less arduous for them. I feel that this is an extremely noble initiative and actually love volunteering for this cause.
