Olney Friends School

Christian’s Visit to Robben’s Island, South Africa

Our Head of School, Christian Acemah, was a VIP guest of the Republic of South Africa for the World Science Forum. He spoke with delegates about the power of Olney graduates, their values, and how Olney prepares leaders of the world. No matter what Olney alums do, they lead with their values. They learn and practice social justice at Olney.
On the final day of the Forum, Christian took a boat ride to Robben Island, where political prisoners (including Nelson Mandela) were imprisoned during the apartheid period in South Africa.
The photos that follow chronicle part of his trip from Cape Town to Robben Island.
