This summer, the Walt Disney Company not only added new
initiatives to its programming line-up, but also had conducted
various on-ground initiatives. Two of these were celebrating

communities.
The

on an international level to brighten the lives of children
and families. Thousands of Disney staff and cast members
in nearly 40 countries are painting hospitals and orphanages,
leading children on field trips to zoos, parks, movies,
and conducting art workshops at schools.

Wish Day, the highlight of the event was Disney's Genie,
who is a magical character from the Aladdin story, who made
a special appearance to cheer the 'wish kids'.
