International Institute of New England
What does the American Dream mean to you?
For students in an International Institute of New England ESOL class in Lowell, MA, the American dream means:
sending their children to school
attending college
getting a good job
owning a car and home
becoming a citizen
The International Institute of New England has worked for over 100 years to aid refugees and immigrants through resettlement, ESOL and skills training classes, and pathways to citizenship.
As part of my internship with IINE in 2018, I had the opportunity to take photos in classrooms across New England, meeting clients from all around the world and all walks of life. I was honored to take portraits of students and play a small part in supporting and welcoming immigrants and refugees.
