I’m pleased to share the news that CNN International is airing a 30 minute feature about the work of Whiz Kids Workshop this weekend. CNN will cover the story of the educational children’s television programming created in Ethiopia over the past 6 years, including “Tsehai Loves Learning” and “Involve Me,” the new youth TV series made in partnership with Save the Children Denmark, as well projects in production related to literacy, science, or public health. The episode is part of an ongoing CNN series called “African Voices.” In CNN's words "African Voices highlights Africa's most engaging personalities, exploring the lives and passions of people who rarely open themselves up to the camera."
CNN International reaches 200 million households internationally in over 200 countries.
