A tender moment between a grandmother and her grandchild — captured in a warm, sepia-toned embrace. Their smiles and closed eyes tell a story of unconditional love, safety, and timeless connection across generations. This portrait is a reminder that sometimes, the safest place in the world is in the arms of someone who has loved you long before you were born.
Human Connections hosts students from the US twice a year to participate in a 2 week to 2 month long internship program, during the winter and summer seasons, respectively.
Interns immerse themselves in the local culture through interactions with our artisans, with the Bucerías community, and with local homestay families. Interns also contribute much to the work and structure of Human Connections, integrating into the office culture as part of the HC team.

"Moving forward after a loss takes discipline. It takes focus. The world owes us nothing. You can choose to remain angry and be another statistic or you can funnel this pain to help someone else, prevent them from experiencing the loss you feel."
