Children in Indonesia, Afghanistan ans Sri Lanka learn important safety lessons thanks to the puppetry work of No Strings.

Tales of Disaster is a series of videos designed to teach children safety lessons about earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, and floods and landslides. The videos use a combination of shadow puppetry and hand and rod puppets are produced by No Strings, a UK-based charity that uses puppetry to make lifesaving education films for children in developing countries about issues like earthquakes, tsunamis and HIV/Aids. No Strings’ co-founders include Muppet veterans Michael Frith and Kathy Mullen. No Strings distributes the films in a variety of different ways, including local screenings in remote, local communities and broadcast on national television stations.
