Overview

The AIDS pandemic in Africa has hit children particularly hard leaving some 12 million without one or both parents and threatening the lives of millions more. Drawing from 2002 conference sponsored by the Institute for the African Child--"HIV/AIDS and the African Child: Health Challenges, Educational Possibilities"--Singhal (interpersonal communications, Ohio U.) and Howard (African studies, Ohio U.) present 15 papers by social scientists, communications and education specialists, and medical experts addressing the impact of the disease on the continent's children and some of the programs that are being created to address the problem.
