Nickelodeon and Dora the Explorer is planning a 5 city School Tour in September

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, register for the Early Savers Financial Literacy for Kids campaign at www.nickelodeonafrica.com or and give a brief justification of why you think Dora and Boots should come to visit their school.
