Seems that American foreign policy just added a new weapon to its arsenal: Elmo. The United States Agency for International Development, USAID, has committed $10 million to the four-year project to create a Pakistani version of Sesame Street. The US government is hoping that as well as providing basic literacy and numeracy skills, the show, called Sim Sim Hamara, will teach lessons in tolerance, and mutual respect.
Ah yes, this is the title of a new Sesame Street movie: Elmo Saves the World.
Hey, it could happen.
