Sesame to help kids in Abu Dhabi "Reach for the Sky"

Sesame Workshop is partnering with the Emirates Foundation for Philanthropy to produce "Reach for the Sky," a science event beginning this month in Abu Dhabi, according to Al Bawaba, a Middle Eastern news site. "In addition to learning about planets, galaxies, the Earth and stars, children will explore the phases of the moon and their relationship with Arabian months, including the month of Ramadan, and Islamic achievements in the fields of science and astronomy," Al Bawaba reported. "Reach for the Sky" activities run nightly starting Aug. 12, the first day of Ramadan, and continue through the Islamic holy month.
