As a follow-up to last week’s post about Sesame Street…
NEW YORK, October 30: Kosovo broadcaster RTK yesterday premiered the Sesame Street international production Rruga Sesam (Albanian language)/Ulica Sezam (Serbian language).
The 26-episode Rruga Sesam and Ulica Sezam feature Muppet segments from Sesame Street's international library, as well as local content, such as 26 original and locally produced live-action segments highlighting similarities of children from different ethnicities living in Kosovo, and the importance of play in their lives. In addition to airing on RTK, the productions will also broadcast regionally on three Serbian-language broadcasters: DTV, TV Most Zvecan and TV Herc Strpce.
I don’t know why this intrigues me so. Maybe it’s because the first Hispanic Americans I ever met where on Sesame street? Having grown up in a small, ethnically-homogenous Minnesota town Sesame Street really did help me see the world was bigger than my little neighborhood. That sounds pretty lame as I write it, but true none-the-less.

That doesn't sound lame at all but profound and thank God for Sesame Street since the church doesn't always present the values of unity in diversity as effectively.
Thanks Beth. I always like it ;)
