Re: Last photo, school visit by Mawlana Hazar Imam.
I had attended the Aga Khan Primary School (AKPS) in Nairobi in the 1960’s and can still vividly remember the day, this historic 1966 visit took place – the photo is of a Std 6 class of that year and the teacher is Ms Khatoon Mawani (nee Ahmed) – I believe sister to Zaher Ahmed who was the Chairman of IPS. I was in the Std 5H class of that year. In 2002, I had organised a reunion for my 1968 Std 7 class of AKPS Nairobi, here in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, and I had located Ms Mawani in Vancouver. I was able to find many pictures relating to this historic visit at this school. I recall that Nashir and Shaida Kassam of Ottawa had also attended the reunion. I take this opportunity to convey them my thanks for posting this and other pictures.
