Dharavi Students to Meet Robotic Elephant 'Ely' for Animal Awareness
Imagine a giant robot elephant named Ely visiting schools in Dharavi!
Ely looks, moves, and feels like a real elephant, but she's made of machines.
She's traveling from America to India to teach kids about being kind to animals, especially elephants.
Ely will show kids how elephants move and feel, and teach them why it's important not to use them for shows or work.
Actress Dia Mirza, who is helping with the event, will even have Ely speak in her voice!
The goal is to help kids understand how to protect elephants in their natural habitats.
A robotic elephant named Ely will visit two schools in Dharavi.
Ely, built in the United States, is on an Asia tour.
The initiative is supported by the Rotary Club and PETA India.
Ely's visit aims to promote animal welfare and empathy in children.
Actress Dia Mirza is the ambassador for the initiative, and Ely speaks in her voice.
