Addressing the students, the Executive Director of the Foundation, Mrs Ncheta Chidubem-Nwachinemere, said the association targets mainly teenagers, youths, orphans, women and single mothers, whom they offer platforms to become resourceful champions of community and nation building.

Mrs Chidubem-Nwachinemere, while dwelling on the theme of the programme said that it was tailored to re-order the participants’ mental, spiritual and physical abilities in the right direction and to empower the students with sustainable skills that would enable them improve their essence of living for the future.

In a remark, the Director of Administration of the Foundation, Mr Chidubem Nwachinemelu, who expressed satisfaction with the large turn out of students, maintained that they are passionate about teenagers and youths, and therefore deemed it fit to educate them on the right paths to follow in life.
