	Sheena Melwani Assistant Director Hindu Heritage Summer Camp holds a special place in Sheena's heart. HHSC is how she is able to impress others by reciting the Ganesh Puja from memory, and what has motivated her desire to share knowledge of her religion with her friends and family. But most importantly, it is where she has made best friends. This will be Sheena's 6th year at HHSC. In the past, Sheena was a camper for 2 years, and then spent each sequential year moving from counselor, to head counselor, to this past year as staff coordinator, and this year as assistant director.
