Love for Arifa.


Dear friends,

You may all remember Arifa as I posted a story about her last week.

Arifa is a brilliant student and a beautiful positive soul, whose father is mentally ill and mother is forced to remarry due to scarcity in the family.

Arifa has grown up with her grandmother since she was three years old seeing and surviving hundreds of hardships as a result she forgot how to smile!!

I thank God that Arifa came to my notice last month.

You will be happy to know, by the grace of God,

I admitted her to the school last month and able to take her full financial responsibilities for her lifestyle and schooling. I am going to support her family and her expenses such as her admission fees, tuition fees, daily food, books, notes, clothes and everything she needs to grow up as a happy child. I will bear all the expenses to ensure that she can continue to go to school and get a beautiful and healthy life.

I want to make sure she never forgets to ‘smile’ again…

Thank you so much my friends for always appreciating my journey. Nothing would have been this easier for me without your support and inspiration. My heartfelt gratitude.

Please keep me in your prayers so that I may continue my mission to change the lives of people in need. To me, even one single difference is counted.

Happy Friday.

"I see the beauty of people and the human soul in the pictures I take. And though the circumstances of some of the people I portray may be grim, back-breaking, depraved, the people themselves are always remarkable characters and souls" For me Photography is my language, to access, to communicate, to identify and mostly to make it hear. Through photography I only jot down my heart’s language. The best part about being a photographer is that I’m able to articulate the experiences of the voiceless and to bring their identities to the forefront which gives meaning and purpose to my own life.
