Sisimpur
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sisimpur is the Bangladeshi-version of the children's television series Sesame Street.
The first season of the series featured 26 episodes, and a second roster of 36 episodes was in production, as of 9 February 2006.[1] The series airs four times a week on Bangladesh TV (BTV).
USAID has committed USD$7 million in funding over the first three years. It is Bangladesh's first children's educational program, and is expected to be seen by 4 million children in its first two years.
The creation of Sisimpur was described in detail in the 2005 documentary The World According to Sesame Street.
