A Classroom Turned Into A Gaming Zone For Underprivileged Kids

e-xpress Interactive Software Pvt ltd & Games The Shop in association with Angel Xpress Foundation concluded with a fun-filled gaming session for the underprivileged kids last weekend held on 2nd July 2016. The event was conducted at the Muktanand centre at Santacruz Mumbai, where Angel Xpress Foundation runs its regular coaching’s to the underprivileged kids.

The early monsoon morning brought an unexpected surprize to the kids who were not aware to what was planned for them. The kids walked in the classroom and were overwhelmed to see the PlayStation® 4 consoles and the Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens that was showcased to have a hands on experience to the game. The event started with an introduction session on explaining all about video games. Many said, they only knew mobile games and that, this was a new sight for them to play games for the first time on a PlayStation® 4.

The kids also enjoyed the drawing competition where they were asked to draw Lego Star Wars game logo that was right in front of their screens. Few kids came up with some colourful logos of Lego Star Wars out of which the best 10 paintings were selected and the winners were rewarded with some cool Lego merchandise. Soon after, the kids took the controllers in their hand to play the Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Everyone enthusiastically took part to learn the game mechanics and the tactics to play it even further. The joy of experiencing something new for them was clearly seen when they all only came repeatedly to try out the game.

Ms Anubha Sharma, CEO & Co-founder of Angel Xpress Foundation, who also graced the event by her presence said, “It was such a wonderful moment to see our kids enjoying so much that they even requested for such gaming sessions to be conducted every weekends from now onwards. We thank the entire team for giving this opportunity to our kids. The event truly turned out to be an absolute fun for our kids. We also wish to collaborate with e-xpress Interactive & Games The Shop in future for more such gaming sessions for our kids”

Mr Amit Khemani, co-founder of e-xpress Interactive Software Pvt Ltd and Games The Shop also quoted, “It was indeed a great pleasure to see the kids indulged into the Lego Star Wars adventure. We are glad we could make their day exciting and uncommon. Seeing an ordinary classroom turning into a gaming zone was an utter glee for us.

The day ended with distribution of some lovely take way goodies and refreshments. The kids also happily posed for the shutterbugs and united they all screamed – We loved playing Lego!
