When Ariana approached Sister Rebecca about a possible project opportunity, she really went above and beyond the expectations.
Miss Victoria Pageant is this weekend and we encourage everyone to learn about the fantastic project Ariana created at Promise Pointe.
Please read her comments:
"Hi everyone! My name is Ariana Salazar.
One of the things Iโm most passionate about is photography, so for my Be Kind Project, I decided to combine my love for photography with giving back to my community. I created Seen Through Kindness, or STK, with the goal of helping people feel seen, valued, and celebrated through professional portraits. Iโm so grateful to be partnering with Promise Pointe and getting the opportunity to meet and photograph some of the incredible people who call it home.
This past Saturday, I had the opportunity to visit Promise Pointe and photograph three incredible residents. This is Ray.
Ray shared such a beautiful and passionate story with me, but one thing that stood out most was his heart for giving back to the community. Even when he may not have much himself, he still finds ways to give to others.
Meeting Ray reminded me that kindness isnโt measured by what we have, but by what we choose to give. His story showed me that you donโt need to have everything to make a difference in someone elseโs life. Sometimes, the smallest acts of kindness can leave the biggest impact.
Iโm so grateful that Seen Through Kindness has given me the opportunity to meet people like Ray and hear the stories that make them who they are. ๐ธ๐ค
Everyone deserves to feel seen."
