The Nation reports on the joint initiative of the Aga Khan Academies (and agency of the AKDN) and Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. It aids students in numeracy, reading, and comprehension skills.
These past two weeks have flown by and there has been much activity going on in the Junior School. The Year 4 classes led our assembly last Friday and it was wonderful to see so many parents join us. In the assembly the children spoke in different languages and many were dressed in national dress, a true demonstration of our diverse community here at the Aga Khan Academy in Mombasa.
“I believe [the Aga Khan Academy Mombasa] is where I shaped my values that I still hold to this day. It is also where I saw and felt the importance of building a community, no matter how large or small.” Indeed, the importance of these values to Mirabelle Arodi is obvious in her actions after graduation from the Academy.
Over the Christmas break in December 2014, three students represented the Aga Khan Academy, Mombasa at an international human rights conference in Geneva, Switzerland.
