AED's avian influenza educational story book for children and schools

The Academy for Educational Development has produced this great story book to raise avian influenza awareness among children in Africa. Zandi’s song focuses upon the importance of girls’ education and the school environment as a resource to be tapped for effective delivery of avian flu information. At the same time, the story draws attention to the empowered women within the community who support each other to educate to educate the wider members of their village. It neatly stresses the importance of understanding the different networks and motivation behind each individual’s action to reduce the risk of avian flu, be that a matter of livelihoods or impressing the village leader!
