Nigerian primary school kids can win a
special visit to their school by children’s TV heroine Dora the Explorer thanks
to Nickelodeon.
From September 2012, global entertainment phenomenon Dora
and her monkey pal Boots will visit 5 schools across the country in Dora’s Back
To School Tour - entertaining children and teachers with fun sing-alongs.
Dora’s Back To School Tour is part of the Access Early
Savers Financial Literacy for Kids campaign, which aims to teach children 4-9
about financial literacy.
The tour follows the Dora Fiesta in Lagos in December last
year, which was a huge, sell-out success, attended by over 4,000 adoring Dora
fans. The event prompted hundreds of requests from kids and parents to have
Dora the Explorer visit their schools.
To apply for Dora the Explorer to visit your school,

weekends at 05:00 WAT, 07:30 WAT and 07:55 WAT. Dora also appears on STV every

ABOUT DORA THE EXPLORER
Dora the Explorer is a play-along, animated adventure series
starring Dora, a seven-year-old Latina heroine whose adventures take place in
an imaginative, tropical world filled with jungles, beaches and rainforests.
Dora explores her world just as pre-schoolers do every day, and the show is
designed to actively engage its audience in an interactive quest using a
variety of learning techniques.
In every episode, Dora and Boots invite the audience to
participate in an exciting adventure, where each step of their journey consists
of a problem or puzzle that Dora and the audience must think their way through
in order to solve the next problem. Dora is proudly bilingual and uses her
knowledge of English and Spanish to communicate with her friends, overcome obstacles
and reach her goals.
In each episode, Dora teaches a Spanish word or phrase to
the viewers and then asks them to use it to solve a problem and forge ahead.
Ultimately, Dora and her best friend, Boots, triumph, and the story always ends
with a “We Did It!” anthem.
The brainchild of Chris Gifford, Valerie Walsh and Eric
Weiner, Dora the Explorer debuted on TV on Nickelodeon in the USA in 2000.
