Few high-school athletes have ever played their sport in a different country. Fewer still have played through a religious organization. Whitman tennis player, junior Nadeem Kassam has done both. Last summer, Kassam played in the first ever Golden Jubilee Games held in Kenya. The games celebrated the 50th year of the present Aga Khan, Shah Karīm al-Hussaynī of the Ismaili Muslim religion.
The Golden Jubilee games were created by the Aga Khan, the 49th hereditary spiritual leader of the Ismaili Muslims, in order to find a better way to connect with younger generations.
