Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Alberto has had a tough time in foster care, moving around a lot and dealing with emotional ups and downs. Despite these challenges, he's stayed strong and focused on growing as a person. Each experience has made him more understanding, patient, and mature. He values consistency and works hard to build trust. His biggest strength is that he never gives up, even when things get hard. Alberto loves to express himself through creative outlets like art, photography, and music. He spends his free time taking photos, making videos, and enjoying nature, which helps him process what he’s been through. What makes him special is his ability to think deeply about his experiences and turn tough times into meaningful stories. He aims to inspire others by sharing these stories and finding beauty and purpose in the challenges he faces.

Alberto is asking for a camera because photography has become both his passion and a potential career path. Having his own camera would allow him to practice more consistently, build a portfolio, and pursue opportunities in media, visual arts, or content creation. Beyond skill development, the camera would help him document his journey, connect with others, and express his story creatively. It’s not just a tool; it’s a way for him to share his voice, stay focused on his goals, and continue growing both personally and professionally.
