programme, ITRealms reports is a
joint venture of Oraks Konsult and Superkids Publications, which advocates and
inculcates positive values in children in order to make them better leaders and
followers tomorrow.
According to the coordinator of the programme, Mrs Franca
Orakwue, the goal is to inspire youths and children to attain their best by
pursuing, living and sharing positive values which include courtesy, integrity,
diligence and godliness wherever they go.
“We believe that values influence one’s thinking which in
turn shapes relationships, behaviours, choices and sense of self-worth. We are
therefore determined to impart these value set in our youths and kids to
prepare them for the challenges of society” she said.
Mrs. Orakwue, who is also author and certified etiquette
specialist from Etiquettemoms, United States is also a product of the
International Association of Professions (IAP) Career College, USA. With over

children, she is deploying her knowhow to transform youths and kids especially
those of school age into role models of excellence and integrity.
The mass mobilization outreach which is already running in
some schools and worship centres has attracted the attention of UNICEF and
Lagos State government. The pilot programme in some select schools has achieved
very good result and has been well received by the pupils and students.
