The documentaries always give a general overview of the real event that took place in given area, over given time and the exact date it occurred.

Among the best reading material to avail to children include Freedom Train: The Story of Harriet Tubman, A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier and The Diary of a Young Girl.

Most of these writings explain the origin, development and control of HIV/AIDS pandemic.

The book is great for awakening hope in kids during such tough times.

The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank revolves around a similar theme of courage and perseverance amid struggles with the hope of a better day. It reveals the riveting story of Anne during times of the Nazi oppression, the struggles and also that of other people. Despite her passing away, the story still bears the reverence of hope and a lot of courage in tough times.
