Aga Khan Academy Mombasa: Nurturing students beyond classrooms

Ham Serunjogi reported to The Aga Khan Academy, in Mombasa, Kenya in September 2010, a week after representing Uganda at the Youth Olympic Games – the first swimmer from Uganda to do so- in Singapore. He immediately fit into his new community thanks to his strong yet humble character, quickly becoming an ambassador of the Academy’s Learner Profile for his ability to achieve excellence in curricular and co-curricular activities.

In addition, he balanced his academic and community service commitments as well as swimming.

His constant quest ‘to be the best he can possibly be’ kept him going through challenges and setbacks such as breaking his collarbone and missing a gala in Malawi.

Serunjogi was a pillar of strength in the Aga Khan Academy community embodying the spirit of resilience and determination.
