In Mwalimu: Nwoya Girls Academy returns teen mums to school

EYES glued to the presenter on the stage, she keenly follows the session; alongside her other adolescent peers.

The group of about six girls is clad in green dresses, white shocks and black shoes. But there is one striking issue about one of the girls. Much as she is a school girl, in a uniform, she is breastfeeding a baby.

The sight of a fellow school girl breastfeeding does not seem to baffle the other school girls. Instead they are supportive as they take turns to carry the baby.

"She must be a courageous; determined girl; one in a million teenage mothers," I thought to myself before approaching her for a chat.

This is a scene, at Nwoya Girls Academy in Gulu, a Northern Uganda district. A unique school at that!

INSIDE a mini exhibition room, students clad in different school uniforms, parade a range of items on tables. Angel Martha Primer has caught her visitors' attention. Cakes, cookies and other baked eats are on the table, up on the stage. She is explaining how her school students' company makes the eats.

At the time, of assembling the Company's products in the morning in the global enterprise challenge of schools, little did she know that later in the evening, her school- St. Andrew's Kaggwa Gombe was to scoop a global prize!
