Julie Namanda, a kindergarten teacher based in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, is seeking to inspire her colleagues to go out in local communities to teach children already behind on their school time.
In Lubaga Division, a suburb of Kampala, a group of about 10 children of different ages gathered behind a house for lessons.
Seated on three benches, the children listened carefully as Namanda used a stick to point at the different objects drawn on an old blackboard.
