This is Norman’s story. Norman Ajwer works as a presenter & talk-show host at 97.7 Unity FM radio in Lira. He is also a student at St. Mary’s Hospital Lacor Nursing School in Lacor, in Gulu. Before that, Norman went to Lira Town College, from were he was an active student leader & was a recipient of the prestigious BBC ICON Challenge award which honours the best secondary school journalists for excellence in print & broadcast mass media. Surprisingly, Norman is also author of Forceful Arrivals– a book that relays his experience during the LRA war in northern Uganda. Additionally, Norman writes movie & drama scripts, which further embeds him into the arts/humanities domain.
When we talk about science, we need not undermine the humanities domain, because these two distinct domains complement one another. He is a good example of how one can easily juggle careers in both the arts/humanities & STEM domains. He is keen on finishing his Nursing course, and joining the medical profession, while also following his passion for radio work.
Recently, Norman interviewed Uncle CD Angulu Oruru, a renowned veteran broadcaster who worked with UBC (Radio Uganda) for a long time. You can find the video interview here. What do you learn from his story?
