During Summer 2011, my sister worked for Nashville International Center for Empowerment (NICE), a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering refugees and immigrants in Nashville. She developed a particularly close relationship with one Bhutanese family, and through her, I too developed and shared a friendship with them.
On my sisters last day in town for the summer, she and I prepared gifts for the family and surprised them at their apartment. The following pictures were taken on this day. My goal was to capture the joy and genuineness of these people and to document them in their new home environment.
