Young People We Care! Making a Difference in our Community

This book is designed to encourage and help groups of young people support either young children or their peers who are living in communities and households that are affected by AIDS. It can also be used by home- based care organisations that want to involve young people in their home-based care.

There are two sections to this book: The training guide aims to prepare a group of young people to implement the community activities in the second section. The training guide includes the participatory activities that will help young people think through a number of topics. Some of the topics covered in this book are: the facts about HIV and AIDS; peer education; life skills; and community outreach.

The community activities aim to promote values and practices that will reduce stigma and discrimination against people infected by HIV and AIDS.

Please note: "Young People We Care: Making a Difference in Our Community" is now also available on CD-ROM. The CD-Rom contains 5 posters with basic information on HIV and AIDS and Young People We Care's newsletters.
