The 'HIV and AIDS Action Readers' aims to promote good health practice through extensive reading. They are designed to help young people to develop the knowledge, attitudes, self-esteem and skills needed to manage their relationships safely and happily, and to cope better with the crisis of HIV and AIDS, which is affecting all communities today. They are suitable for use across the curriculum: in literacy, social studies and science classes, as well as in after-school or community clubs. The readers are at three levels. Within each level there is some development in reading levels and language is controlled. Stories about different aspects of HIV and AIDS are presented with factual information and activities for children. In this story, the teacher and Nandi's mother are both very supportive. They want young people to learn more about HIV and AIDS so that they can protect themselves. The story shows how adolescent girls and boys can have caring, loving relationships while avoiding the risk of HIV and unwanted pregnancy. The fact file included in the book, provides key information about HIV and AIDS and the activities help to develop young people's life skills. This book enables young people to discuss these issues openly and to consider how their choices will affect their health and happiness.
