News Release
October 1st, 2004 Milly, Molly has signed a Joint Venture agreement with Popular e-Learning Holdings Limited, to produce fully animated, multi-lingual, interactive CD Roms for worldwide distribution.
Popular is the largest educational group in Asia, with 451 owned and licensed bookstores, and the company supplies some 1,500 schools in the region. The agreement was concluded at the Beijing Book Fair between the Chief Executives of the two companies–both of whom expressed their commitment to the success of the partnership. This is reflected in the first CD Rom–Milly, Molly and Secret Scarves–being ready for preview to Milly, Molly's 104 client countries at the Frankfurt Book Fair, barely a month after the Joint Venture agreement was signed.
The first 8 books of Set 1 are planned to be finished in December and will be in both English and simple Chinese. Thereafter a further set of 8 books will be prepared every six months. The book and CD Rom packages will teach a child to read the Milly, Molly books, test the comprehension and understanding of the character value contained within the story, will be fun for the child to interact with, and will be an educational resource for parents and teachers alike.
