It is a tremendous honor when I am contacted by agencies to document a highly special occasion. Photographing the reunion of Mr. Kashmoola and son Mustafa’s reunion with Bahjat, their son and brother is one such experience. The family had been separated for 10 years in part due to the lengthy immigration process. Community members come together to sponsor a family member in an effort to expedite the reunion. The family is now continuing in their efforts to be reunited with the son’s mother and Mr. Kashmoola’s wife. To learn more about these wonderful organizations:
Welcome Corps
Community Sponsorship Hub
Here are some additional images from this wonderful assignment:
