Variety Children's Charity Partners with I.D.E.A. on New Pre-school App


  


“Charitee” will give the children playing in Oville an opportunity to engage with a character differently abled than other character’s and possibly themselves, as well as participate in being supportive members of a vibrant and diverse community. “It’s never too soon to learn kindness, understanding and cooperation. The


new mantra is ‘Different, but the same’”, says Eronne Foster, founder and CEO of I.D.E.A., when asked about the fundamental message behind the new content coming to Oville World. “It can be hard for young children to know how to deal with differences, here through the various characters in Oville, children learn how to celebrate what makes us unique while understanding what also unites us all as a community”.
