[YL] World AIDS Day 2007 Discussion Guide

[Lars Hasselblad Torres]

Patricia, thank you for the feedback, and it is very useful. The  
guide is definitely geared toward an older age. Have a look at the  
Peace Tiles Flickr stream and I will create a custom guide for you if  
you tell me which images work best for you. Many of them are made by  
very young children: http://www.flickr.com/photos/peacetiles/sets/ 
1112725/

We can perhaps talk here or offline about the right questions for  
elementary children. This will be very useful for me in the long run  
also.

Thank you so much!
