Mumbai: Over 680 children from across Mumbai experienced a special, fun-filled day at Hamleys Wonderland™ with entertainment as well as learning during Reliance Foundation’s annual Education and Sports for All (ESA) Day, a press statement said.

The children from government and government-aided schools and from non-governmental organizations are supported through various year-long initiatives by the Reliance Foundation.

Isha Ambani, Director, Reliance Foundation, who joined the children for ESA Day, said, “Reliance Foundation believes that when children have joyful experiences, they aspire, build character and grow their potential. Our ESA programme combines this philosophy with the joy of giving. For over 15 years, Reliance Foundation has been organising festive celebrations for children from diverse backgrounds. This year, the children also experienced Light Atelier at Hamleys Wonderland. It was amazing to see the young children delight in learning through the exhibition while playing with light and shadows.”

At the Hamleys Wonderland™ carnival, in Jio World Garden, the children were thrilled to experience the various attractions, including the Dino World, Elevator to the North Pole, Giant Ferris Wheel, Carousel, Bumper Cars, Wonder Balloon, Wonder Boat, and other engaging games.

The children also experienced this year’s new attraction, Light Atelier, presented by the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in collaboration with Dadu, the Children’s Museum of Qatar. Light Atelier encourages children in the age group of 4 – 12 years discover the magic of light, shadow, and color through playful, hands-on exploration in an immersive learning environment.

Reliance Foundation’s ESA programme seeks to make educational opportunities like these accessible to children from all backgrounds, an approach rooted deeply in Reliance’s ‘We Care’ philosophy.

This special event in December aims to enable children from diverse communities, enjoy experiences that fuel their imagination and aspirations, and celebrate the spirit of joy and giving. DeshGujarat
