“Noor and Aziz are at the heart of our efforts to bring early education and learning through games to children and caregivers affected by the Rohingya refugee crisis who have been impacted tremendously by the dual crises of displacement and the Covid-19 pandemic,” said Sherrie Westin, president of social impact and philanthropy at the Sesame Workshop.
