Cute — ok, heartwarming — story on the Beeb about Muppets veterans and their puppets taking it to Afghanistan to teach kids how to stay safe from land mines. I really wish I was doing work like this. There’s something very tempting about doing work where telling fairytales actually helps pass on useful knowledge, like it used to. Brings to mind Dwight Conquergood’s Mother Clean (described in The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down).
