About Us

Our chapter story

The MEDLIFE NoVA High School Chapter, organized and led by President Aniketh Pondugula with an executive board of student leaders, has consistently turned volunteer energy into direct community impact.

The chapter has hosted and supported service at JK Farm, food preparation at DC Central Kitchen, local Red Cross blood drives, and other outreach events that develop leadership while meeting concrete needs.

Alongside local service, the team raises funds for MEDLIFE's broader global mission and promotes sustained engagement with the interconnected issues of healthcare, education, and development.

This rebuild keeps that story editable and future-ready so upcoming events, galleries, and forms can be updated without redesigning the site.
