Mission Statement
Advocating Change
Inspired by our personal experiences, CBK Foundation strives to instill awareness of cultural differences in young generations through cultural books. Reading is a crucial part of cognitive, moral, and social development and education in children. Starting from a young age, our team has witnessed the lack of cultural education and awareness in our own generations and above, which ultimately is breaking our society apart. We hope to teach the next generations to understand and embrace different perspectives of the world to limit bias and stereotyping.
Importance of Educating the Next Generation on Culture
This is why YOU should care!
In past and present times, cultural differences have been a unifying yet dividing aspect of our world. It’s inspiring to see our progress as an accepting and open-minded community with advances in our nation’s history, but it’s heartbreaking to see how racism still stems in our society despite the efforts. CBK Foundation’s goal is to instill awareness of cultural differences in young generations for a better future through cultural books. Reading is a crucial part of cognitive, moral, and social development and education in children.
