Sonia Nassery Cole

Sonia Nassery Cole was born in Afghanistan but moved to the United States as a youngster during the Soviet takeover in 1979. From her new home in the U.S., she organized relief and publicity initiatives for her homeland, even visiting with President Reagan in the White House. She has been a constant in the Afghan humanitarian effort since then.
