As we celebrate World Television Day (21 November), Christian broadcaster SAT-7 KIDS demonstrates the medium’s continued ability to transform children’s lives. The channel is a powerful platform for teenage role-model presenters – such as new addition Markus Kashouh, a popular YouTuber – who encourage their peers with a message of hope and support.

Parastoo Poortaheri, from Iran, is the Presenter of SAT-7 PARS’ weekly children’s program A Girl’s World. Here, she shares how she wants to use this platform to bring hope to the next generation of Persian girls.
