tbkidsbooklet

This booklet has been produced in English and Chichewa (a local language), and is designed as a photo story book that children will want to keep and read again and again. It helps the children to understand what is happening to them and the importance of taking their treatment, and reassures them that hey will get better if they take their medicine..
