Sharon retired from the healthcare field in 2016 and since that time she’s enjoyed involvement in the
local community. She began volunteering at Camp Nefesh on its first day in 2018 and instantly saw the
joy in the children attending camp as well as in the teens who were running it. Sharon is proud to be a
part of Camp Nefesh and ensuring its continued success.

Her grandparents were refugees from Germany in the 1930s and settled in Israel, where she was born and raised. She immigrated to the US as an adult. Helping children make a smoother adjustment to a new country is close to her heart.

My name is Sulaiman Sidiqi, born in Kabul Afghanistan. I moved to the US to pursue a better life and education. I am currently in High School and College where I study Computer Science. I also own SidiqibrothersLLC where we provide services to immigrants. As this being my first year with Camp Nefesh I want the campers to feel welcomed to a new country, education system, culture, people and give them the best summer experience they can have.
