It is unfortunate that the US Army should undo with a single strike all the good work that the US State Department has done in years. Armies should never be involved in bilateral relations.

very nice info about sim sim hamara :) i have liked Haseen o jameel alot :)...well i think this type of project needs good marketing strategy so that every child will know sim sim humara...............here in Pakistan we can only see billboards for dramas and films not for the educational projects. The marketing team must think about it and simply hang billboards with local sim sim characters so that children will wait for the series before it goes on-air.

..In INDIA, the show is known as " GALI GALI SIM SIM "...& It's being broadcasted on POGO & on DD1(terrestrial)... & in the past the program has featured prominent personalities like Hillary Clinton, Obama, along with other successful Indian personalities from various fields.

This is high quality work and I am so glad that Peer group is leading this. I hope that even after USAID funding has ended that this very important program will continue and another donor, perhaps, the Jang group.

Many Congratulations to the team of Sim Sim Hamara. Me being a media specialist and an emerging media artist really feel the need of positive programs on Pakistani media to educate our children and keep them away from the consequences of violent cartoons and other nonsense programs. Best of luck :)
