HIV and AIDS have had a devastating effect on all the communities of Zimbabwe, and those with disabilities have not been exempt from the effects of the virus, as is reflected in many of the pieces in this collection. The book clearly demonstrates both the talent of the students and their concern about the issues facing their community and wider society. Some of the stories and poems tell the stories of their lives, some come straight from their imagination, and some simply speak of their dreams for a better future. 606 $aAfrican poetry 606 $aShort stories, African 615 0$aAfrican poetry. 615 0$aShort stories, African. 676 $a808.8100967 702 $aBhana$b Veena 702 $aTshuma$b Sininisabo 712 02$aUnited States.$bPresident's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, 712 02$aKing George VI School and Centre, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827892703321 996 $aSmall friends and other stories and poems$94054604 997 $aUNINA
