MUSCAT: It’s school time and that time of the year where kids from all over the city are feeling excited and a tad nervous as the new academic year is set to begin, with all things new: classroom, teachers, friends, books and maybe even a new school.

To make this transition into the new academic year fun and exciting and a little less nervewracking, T FM teamed up with Oasis Mall to launch the “Make a Wish” campaign enabling kids to fulfil their back-to-school wishes.

The month-long campaign took off on August 16 on air on T FM 95.4, as well as across all social media platforms, asking parents to send in their kids’ back-toschool wishes.

As part of the campaign, parents too stood a chance to win their entire invoice value back in the form of gift vouchers, on the purchase of merchandise worth OMR20 or more from the “Back to School” collection at Oasis Mall, Al Khuwair.

Some 30 lucky kids were granted their wishes in a special event hosted on September 21 at the Oasis Mall, Al Khuwair. The event saw some amazing games, on-thespot prizes and lots of exciting giveaways and entertainment for both kids and adults alike.

“There’s nothing more precious than seeing children genuinely smile when something they really want is granted to them.

“With the ‘Make a Wish’ campaign, we were able to grant 30 wishes to the kids, as well as give away so many prizes and vouchers to whoever attended the roadshow. It was a great event and we hope we can come up with similar events for our loyal listeners,” said Garima Bhandari, Programme Director, T FM.

The campaign and event would not have been possible without the participation of the good folks from Centrepoint, Max Fashions and Shoexpress.
