DORA, BOOTS & MISS MONEY PENNY VISIT SCHOOLS IN IBADAN, ENUGU, LAGOS, BENIN & CALABAR

Thousands of Nigerian primary school kids saw their dreams come true after winning the opportunity to have children’s TV heroine Dora the Explorer visit their schools - thanks to Nickelodeon. 

Dora’s Back To School Tour, which took place during September 2012, saw global entertainment phenomenon Dora the Explorer and her monkey pal Boots entertain children and teachers by singing popular nursery rhymes with a Spanish twist.

Dora and Boots performed to 3,000 children across the country including the IITA School in Ibadan, Meadow Hall Prep in Lagos, UPSS in Benin, Brighteyes Montessori in Enugu, and the Surefoot American International School (SAIS) in Calabar.

Joining Dora and Boots in a first for Nigeria was Miss Penny Wise, a loveable new character introduced by Access Early Savers.  Created to teach kids the value of money and the importance of saving in a fun way, Miss Penny Wise welcomed enthusiastically by kids and teachers.

Dora’s Back To School Tour was part of the Access Early Savers Financial Literacy for Kids campaign, which aims to teach children 4-9 about financial literacy.

The tour followed 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. 

In Nigeria, Dora the Explorer can be seen on Nickelodeon (DStv Channel 305) every weekday at 04:00 WAT, 09:00 WAT and 09:25 WAT and on weekends at 05:00 WAT, 07:30 WAT and 07:55 WAT. Dora also appears on STV every Saturday morning at 08:00 WAT.
