Sruti Chigurupati receives the US President's Volunteer Service Award

Sophomore at Orange High School earns award for her volunteerism

In just five months, Sruti Chigurupati spent 100 hours of her free time volunteering.

The Olentangy Orange High School sophomore began donating her time in January to LifeCare Alliance near downtown Columbus. She was following in her older brother's footsteps by joining the organization that's best known for its Meals on Wheels program.

After about 40 hours of volunteering, she learned about the President's Volunteer Service Award, which recognizes students who have spent a significant amount of time working for a good cause.

So she began tracking the weekend and spring-break hours she spent in the LifeCare Alliance kitchen, bagging and boxing Meals on Wheels entrees, and by May, she had reached more than 100 hours, which made her eligible for the award.

Chigurupati said her main responsibilities at LifeCare Alliance include bagging the meals according to a client's menu choices, then boxing the orders up in a way so drivers can deliver the special meals to the correct homes.

"It seems like it could be daunting after a few hours, but it's fun and I liked getting to know the people I worked with," she said. "And they have a chef, so the whole kitchen smells really good."

Students 14 and younger have one year to complete 100 or more hours of service to be eligible for the President's Volunteer Service Award. Once Chigurupati's hours were completed, she had to apply for the award and provide references from her volunteer coordinators.

Over the summer, she received the award, which consisted of a letter from the White House and a gold medal.

"I think more important than the award is having the opportunity to give back," Chigurupati said.

"Olentangy is kind of like this bubble because we are all fortunate and well-off for the most part, but when you're volunteering at LifeCare, you see people who can't leave their homes or are struggling just to afford food," she added. "It really opens your eyes to see how other people in our community live."

Although Chigurupati has taken time away from LifeCare Alliance to focus on school and her spot on the varsity tennis team, she said she plans to continue volunteering with the organization during winter break. In the meantime, she joined the OOHS Interact Club, which completes service projects throughout the year, such as organizing food and toy drives and reading to elementary school students.

The Great Mikkilineni and Pemmasani Rulers of Gandikota

Gandikota is a small village on the right bank of the river Pennar, 15 km from Jammalamadugu in Kadapa district, Andhra Pradesh. Gandikota was one of the greatest forts of south India in its hay days and so were the kings who ruled the region. Years after its formation, Gandikota fort was ruled by the Mikkilineni dynasty of Bharadwaja gotra who belonged to a clan of Kamma lords. Kammas were kings belonging to the Solar, lunar and Haihaya clans of Kshatriyas and were said to be ferocious in nature. The kings of Gandikota were equally famous and said to be so powerful, that they could severe the heads of a horseman and the horse with a single stroke of the sword. The location of the fort and the security it offered attracted most of the enemy kings for conquering.
