Who is Hurshneet Chadha?

Hurshneet  is a student from Peoria, Arizona who was inspired to create project smile to bring people together through the power of smiles during the COVID-19 pandemic. Project Smiles was created on social media in hopes of putting smiles on the faces of patients battling COVID-19. The project has expanded to create a positive impact on the mental, physical and environmental well-being of anyone in need via card making, literacy drives, smile art kits for kids, food drives, and dental hygiene kits.
