"Bring all children to Magic Bus, we don't need doctor for any treatment" says Rajiv a 12 year old cancer patient

Magic Bus had a wonderful opportunity to interact with cancer patients from Tata Memorial Hospital. We took 18 boys and 5 girls for a daytrip at our Children's Centre. The patients showed extra ordinary courage while rappelling and felt a sense of achievement. Rajiv was on crutches due to his legs being affected by cancer however this did not stop him from rappelling down the rock climbing tower. His effort was sheer inspiration for all.

"Yeh hamre liye ek sapno ki duniya thi "

"This was a place of my dreams" shared by a 11 year old tribal girl from a village, when she experienced a day in Mumbai city. The children from Ashram Shala, a boarding school for tribal children were given once in a lifetime experience to have a peek at a different world. Magic Bus promotes an interaction between tribal and city children to give them an exposure to different cultures and a sense of understanding and valuing ones own environment. This is done through our adventurer programme that reaches out to all those children who cannot give us a long term commitment.

The tall buildings startled the children and they were in awe of the ocean. The team took them to Gateway of India and Nehru Planetarium where they were spellbound by watching the stars and the planets during daytime besides conducting many creative expression activities throughout the day.
