Why we care: The entire “Lessons From My Neighborhood” campaign takes a cheerful approach to tragic circumstances like parental drug abuse, child malnutrition, and violence. By using puppets that typically sing about friendship, feelings, and other joys of life, the spots are able to effectively convey how heartbreaking it is that small children are forced to deal with these realities every single day.
