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.
