Refugee working on frontlines of pandemic helping the immigrant community and last updated 2021-04-03 13:51:37-04 SACRAMENTO, Calif. â Aside from when sheâs giving a shot, you wonât see Sheeba Shafaq sit still. Sheâs working long days at a mobile COVID-19 clinic in Sacramento, helping the immigrant and refugee community. Shafaq learned this tireless dedication from her family growing up in Afghanistan. âI was home schooled by the books my brothers brought home from their school, and my parents worked so hard on me to get the education that I needed,â she said. Years later, schools were eventually opened to women. Shafaq's parents encouraged her to become a doctor like sheâd always dreamed of doing.
