Meet Firas Dib (Syria)

Firas and Valerie will share about Syria on Thursday, June 24, at Kids and Cultures Camp, along with their boys and a surprise guest.

Firas Dib was born in Damascus, Syria, and when he was 13 years old, moved to the United States with his older brother.

Firas and his wife Valerie live in Carlisle, Pa., with their two sons. Firas works with robotic surgery in operating rooms throughout the U.S. When he's not working, he likes to play with his boys and shoot archery.

Firas visits his mom and his sister in Syria every few years. He has a brother in New Jersey and another in France. On the first day of Spring (which is Mother's Day in Syria) this year, Firas spent time with his mother who was visiting his brother's family in New Jersey.

In addition to Valerie and the boys helping with the presentation, Firas has invited a special guest in Syria to help us learn about their country.
