Sesame Street Hits Nigeria, With HIV-Positive Muppet

It's finally ready to go live: A Nigerian adaptation of Sesame Street will debut later this month in Africa's most populous country, according to US officials. It will be called Sesame Square and will feature Kami, an inquisitive female Muppet living with HIV, and Zobi, a blue Muppet obsessed with yams, a staple food in Nigeria. The US is also helping to fund a Pakistani version of the show.
