Discovery Kids and its favourite superhero KISNA celebrated
the weekend with kids from Shiksha Educational Trust, an organisation that
works towards the cause of education amongst underprivileged children. On
Sunday, 27th December, more than 100 kids from the trust were taken on a joy
ride aboard the Discovery Kids Joy Express and participated in games, art &
craft, magic show, puppet shows and much more. The kids also met KISNA and
expressed their enthusiasm by dancing and singing with the super hero.
Discovery Kids Joy Express was launched on 18th December to
give children in Delhi-NCR a unique way to spend their weekends and holidays
and to experience the magic of learning combined with entertainment. As part of
its initiative to reach out to children from all strata of society, Discovery
Kids Joy Express will regularly invite kids from NGOs, free of cost, to spread
the joy.
Speaking about the initiative, Rahul Johri, EVP and GM,
South Asia, Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific, said, “We are delighted to welcome
kids from Shiksha Trust onboard the Discovery Kids Joy Express. Our aim is to
engage children from all walks of life and this ride is a small step in this
direction.”
Talking about his experience on Discovery Kids Joy Express,
7-year old Dalip from Shiksha said, “I am very happy as I got to meet Kisna and
watch the puppet and magic show. We also learnt that we should always help
others and keep our surroundings clean.”
