By -  Elvis Ondieki |Sunday Nation: Exams, applications and recruitment processes can be exhausting and challenging, and sometimes demoralising when we don't get the results we want. But 14-year-old Tracy Okech is grateful for the hurdles she jumped over because they have brought her closer to her dream of being an architect and desire to study overseas. She is currently adjusting to life in Wisconsin, United States, as she counts down to finishing her first month abroad for university preparatory education. Two Tuesdays ago, emotions ran high at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport as Tracy bade farewell to her family.

The Chairman of the association, Dr Ejike Orji, Chairman, said this at a news conference in Abuja organised by Education as a Vaccine, a non-governmental organisation, to mark the International Girl-Child Day on Thursday. He said that year in, year out, thousands of girls died due to unsafe sex and unsafe abortions because of the lack of knowledge needed to guide them. “Talking about sex is seen as a taboo by religious and traditional leaders, while parents seldom talk about it to their children. “Whether we like it or not, our youths are engaging in sexual activities; therefore, we cannot continue to live in denial but we should rise and protect them,’’ he said. Orji noted that the Family Life HIV and AIDs Education (FLHE) was an all-encompassing sex education programme and a good way of educating the yo...
