Vedant Dayal and Ashima Sharma started a program called Heart-to-Art
Vedant Dayal (CW, ‘25) and Ashima Sharma (CW, ‘25) started a program called Heart-to-Art! This initiative brings the joy of expressive arts, such as dance, acting, visual arts, guitar, singing, creative writing, and drums, to pediatric cancer patients, survivors, and their families in the Orange County and Los Angeles areas. Over 2,000 kids have already experienced the magic of creativity thanks to their work. They originally earned a $5,000 grant from the Dragon Kim Fellowship during spring 2024. Vedant and Ashima went on to win the top prize at the Dragon Kim Challenge, held at the Margaret A. Webb Theatre, where they were awarded an additional $5,000 to expand the Heart-to-Art program.
