Popular Turkmen actor starred in videos about hygiene

The State Committee for Television and Radio Broadcasting and Cinematography, with the support of UNICEF, created a short video on the topics of hygiene and prevention of COVID-19. Starring in the title role was famous comedian and presenter Ashir Dadeh.

In small video messages, which can be seen on Turkmen TV channels since June, Dade gives simple and accessible recommendations on proper hand hygiene, food safety, etiquette when sneezing, disinfection of surfaces, and the scheme of actions when symptoms of disease are detected. In addition, there is a series of animated videos in which the girl Mergen and the boy Mergen teach children hygiene rules.

A. Dade also leads another project of the State Committee for TV and Radio Broadcasting and Cinematography and UNICEF - "For You, Children!" dedicated to the rights of the child in kindergarten. As noted by K. Weygand, UNICEF Representative in Turkmenistan, thanks to the joint cooperation it is possible to create interesting and useful content for the younger audience.
