How we live each day can be put into very common terms that we can all relate with, regardless of where we have immigrated from.  This is what has affected me the most about getting to know the families that have been gracious enough to invite me into their homes to photograph them. Faith and family have been the constant threads of unity throughout all of the Burmese families that I have met.  The families that I photographed have immigrated to the United States over the past 3-6 years and are now current U.S. Citizens.  They came from regions of Myanmar (Burma) to escape religious persecution and for economic reasons.  What is most evident in their lives is their passion and devotion to their faith, shown by how they treat others and through the simple and wonderful religious icon displays they each have in their homes.  They do more than their part in giving back to the community in which they now live: through their work, their schools and their church.  It has been a privilege to get to know them through the support provided them through Catholic Charities and their involvement in ESL Classes at B'nai Emunah Synagogue (just another example of a continuing interfaith partnership between the Synagogue and Catholic Charities).
