I know this is the month of Thanksgiving, but a little birthday took place this week for a television show that impacted many children's lives. Sesame Street turned 40 this week!!!! I grew up watching Sesame Street, and I know many other people did as well.
It made me want to see if there was something Sesame Street offered non-profit wise to help that helped the community. I figured I'd discover their suggestion to be to donate to pbs.org - which by the way is a great place to donate for valuable and educational entertainment. I encourage donating to them so they can continue to produce quality television programming.
A pleasant surprise was greeted to me instead. Sesame Street does have a not for profit organization called Sesame Workshop (http://www.sesameworkshop.org/home). I encourage anyone who loves kids, who has kids, who wants to help kids, take a moment to visit their very well laid out website.
He is a brief who, what, and why of Sesame Workshop:
