The Power Of Positive Living

Everywoman

Available for over a year

Amelia Jacobs from Tanzania, widowed by AIDS and HIV positive herself, chose to become a counsellor and help others cope with the disease, instead of giving in to despair. 'Positive Living' is one of the cornerstones of her work - she tells the programme what that means. Also on the programme: Is instinctive parenting the best way to raise children, or should it come from a book? Plus, an interview with the first woman Speaker in Parliament, Betty Boothroyd.
