I visited Magare Girls School today and, to my surprise, ended up talking with a small group of student leaders who are peer counselors. They had received some training in counseling skills so we discussed ways to counsel students dealing with crisis pregnancies and relationship problems. Not so different from American high school kids huh? I was surprised, however, to hear "had sex because she needed money for school fees" as one of the drivers for teen pregnancy. That's one you don't hear every day.
