This festival is also an initiative to encourage children to discover the joys of giving and donate their toys. The response overall has been very encouraging."
Through this initiative, HyperCity is approaching children in over 40 premium schools across Mumbai, Vashi, Jaipur and Hyderabad. Children can contribute by bringing toys to their schools or to a HyperCity store. Fun Zones for children have been specially created for children where they can participate in games and many fun demo activities.
