Goodbye Mohammad Sarshar with Koodak Network

According to Fars News Agency, Mohammad Sarshar, the director of the Children’s Network, was appointed as his cultural and social vice president by the decree of Mohammad Mokhber Dezfuli, the first vice president.

He, who has been the director of the children’s television network since 1994, announced the end of this responsibility last night by publishing a text on his personal pages in cyberspace.

He wrote in his text: “Every coming is to go and every birth is to die.” And the Lord rotates the times among the people to measure their dignity and to choose the martyrs from among them.

Today has been a difficult day for me: the days of leaving a piece of the heart; Farewell moments with loved ones who have stood, built and worked side by side for six years and ten months.

This was a reversal in May 2015: the starting point of the children’s network’s journey towards the “educator media” model.

I had been planning to go for more than a year. The child network was in place and ready to take bigger steps. In the fall of 1399, a program was written for the fundamental transformation of the children’s network and the integration of the power of television in the field of children and adolescents in order to create native “heroes” with the same scarce wealth.

To build that new building, I suggested a few network managers and resigned, but they refused.

But my plan was to go. RFE / RL had trusted a 34-year-old outsider to start a children’s network, and at the age of 40, it was time for a new life and new ideas to stand on the children’s network platform and see higher horizons.

I hope people and especially families are satisfied with this 82 months of service in the children’s network. I hope they forgive my shortcomings and inadequacies for their greatness. During these years, a great opportunity was given to try a new model in media management with an educational approach, and I am grateful to the great nation of Iran for this.

I would especially like to thank my older brother, Mr. Mohsen Momeni Sharif, for trusting me on this day nine years ago to launch a “Children and Adolescent Arts Center” and to design a strategic plan.

On my own behalf and that of all my peers, I must thank my dear brother Ehsan Mohammad Hassani, who, seven years ago, agreed on such days to establish the “Peak Center for Children and Adolescents” and to implement that strategic plan.

I must admire the courage of Haj Asghar Pourmohammadi, who broke the rules of radio and television and called on young people outside the organization to establish a “Children and Adolescents Network.”

But within the children’s network, there is a long list of enduring letters that the individual put the bricks of this building on top of each other and made pieces of this pattern. “God bless those who have the burden of continuing the journey.”
