Hello there! I just found out about your amazing program. Is it too late to still apply? I am a bilingual counselor living in Mexico City, using puppets to teach social/emotional learning and child abuse prevention. I worked on the set of Sesame Street (with the children, not as a puppeteer) but I have always been enthralled with the magic of puppetry and it’s connection to help children. I would love to be a part of this program, to learn and enhance my skills. Please let me know! Thank you!
