Los Kitos Entertainment launches The Educomics.

Los Kitos Entertainment, LLC in collaboration with the NAHP Foundation announced the launch of The Educomics featuring The Ten Education Commandments for Parents. The Educomics will be officially unveiled and distributed at the National Association of Hispanic Publications Annual Event, to take place from Thursday, March 30 through Sunday April 2, 2006 in Las Vegas, NV at the Hilton Las Vegas Hotel.

The Educomics is a bilingual (English – Spanish) educational tool presented as entertaining cartoon strip characters Los Kitos. It was created as a cornerstone to deliver a positive message and gentle feedback to Orange County Spanish Speaking parents and their families. These hands-on steps are designed to support them in both being better advocates for their children’s education and learning how to navigate the education system. Los Kitos creatively adapted The 10 Education Commandments for Parents instructive concept, and re-produced them as an educational comic to make it more attractive and engaging to its audience.

The 10 Education Commandments for Parents were drafted by Santa Ana College through their Padres Promotores/ENLACE program. These ideas were adopted by the Latino Education Attainment, and developed into its current format by a broad coalition of organizations and concerned individuals such as the Orange County Business Council, Orange County United Way, Orange County Department of Education, Orange County Register and the Santa Ana Partnership (which includes Santa Ana Unified School District, Santa Ana College, CSU Fullerton, and UCI) among others. Los Kitos’ Educomics initiative is expected to be widely disseminated throughout the Orange County as a combined effort between Los Kitos and the several programs and organizations that work with parents and families, and it hopefully will be expanded to neighborhoods among Los Angeles County and beyond.

Los Kitos is totally committed to its community, and will help generate the “Buzz” among the Latino neighborhoods of the importance of education for the future of their children and their community.
