I’ve always found joy in volunteering, especially in spaces that support people with disabilities. In Caracas, Venezuela, I helped out with AVEPANE, an organization for children and families with disabilities, where I assisted in activities that promoted inclusion and connection through arts.

Later, in the Outer Banks, USA, I volunteered with Surfing for Autism, an amazing event that pairs kids on the spectrum with surfers for a fun and empowering day at the beach. Both experiences reminded me of the power of community and simple acts of kindness.
