Muppet Fact #1055
In 2020, Sesame Workshop introduced two Rohingya Muppets as part of their “Play to Learn” humanitarian initiative. The puppets were designed in part by gathering insight from Rohingya children to find out which designs and characters they identified most with. As a result, six year old twins Noor Yasmin and her brother Aziz were created. Noor loves to make up games and play and Aziz loves to act and use his imagination.
