Hussein has been flying HOPE volunteers all over Latin America for the last three months on the joint Navy/NGO operation Continuing Promise–throughout Haiti, Colombia, Panama, El Salvador. But for Rawji, this flight to Nicaragua is special. It completes a generational circle he couldn’t have dreamed of when he joined the Navy.
Hussein, whose grandparents moved from India to Tanzania, where his parents and he were born, moved to the Miami with his family when he was in high school. He joined the Navy right after graduation, and due to his excellent performance and attitude, was selected to be commissioned as an Officer in 2002.
What can I say? Way to go bud…
I know Hussein since we were kids… we were all part of Aga Khan Scouts back in Dar-es-Salaam, with his elder brother Rahim. As a young kid, Hussein was always practical and determined to go far and beyond… this great achievement does not surprise me at all!
