HIV AIDS

  • It costs almost nothing: Beneficial indoor games and handicrafts from rubbish and recycled materials  (Gallagher, M., & Harlech-Jones, M., October 2007).  All children deserve the same opportunities to play and learn, including children orphaned and otherwise made vulnerable by HIV and AIDS. Educational games, handicrafts, and play assist in developing necessary skills such as problem-solving, logic, geography, mathematics, muscle coordination, as well as social and team building skills. Activities in this 148-page book promote the psycho-social wellbeing of children affected by HIV and AIDS and poverty as part of a comprehensive strategy to reduce their vulnerability. The book is filled with photographs, illustrations, and diagrams for easy use by teachers, volunteers, and caregivers in pre-schools, art classes, and after-school and home settings. Several Namibian organizations cooperated with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare to produce it, with funding from the Global Fund and the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. As the title suggests, all the games and crafts in the book use throw-away and recycled materials commonly found in Southern Africa.
