Hi All
Children for Health has published a new storybook, The Girl Who Was Pushed Outside. This focuses on children dealing with the stigma of an HIV and AIDS diagnosis, learning how to support each other, and also, the importance of taking medications.
The story includes many interesting sets of questions and activities for teachers and older children to use too.
The themes and the story were co-created with children and their teachers at a school in Eswatini.
