DISPENSARY CORNER 31 March 16
March 31, 2016
SESAME Street’s Elmo has long
taught kids the alphabet and
now the lovable little fuzzy red
character will educate children in
Latin America and the Caribbean
about avoiding mosquito bites
and stopping the spread of Zika,
according to a report in USA
Today.
The colourful chap has suddenly
become fluent in Spanish and
Portuguese for the purpose.
In one video, the Muppets teach
children how to prevent mosquito
bites by wearing long sleeves and
pants and using insect repellent
and door and window screens.
“If the mosquito doesn’t bite,”
they say, “goodbye Zika.”
In a second video, Elmo and
Raya, a teal-colored
female Muppet, talk about how to
fight the mosquitoes that spread
Zika, such as by getting rid of
standing water and covering trash
containers.
