VISION:
Our Vision for the future is a world where children are the catalyst for change. We envision children of different socio-economic classes, races, religions, cultures and nations creating bridges that will enable them to connect to one another. This will inspire all involved to collectively create a world of tolerance, celebration of diversity, compassion, inter-country and inter-cultural dialogue and respect. This will facilitate the expansion of consciousness which will contribute to harmony throughout the world. - Products:
- WARM CAPS FOR BABIES PROGRAM
Did you know that simply placing a knitted or crocheted cap on a baby’s head for warmth could save many of the 2 million babies who die each year in the first 24 hours of life? The CCB Warm Cap Program provides an opportunity for children to learn how to knit and crochet baby caps. The caps are then donated to developing countries and to poverty-stricken communities here in the United States. Our program engages seniors in volunteering to teach children how to knit and crochet, as this serves as a meaningful way to also bridge generational gaps in their own communities. We also work with knitting clubs and welcome caps donated by individuals.
GLOBAL JOURNEY THROUGH MUSIC PROGRAM
CCB uses the Putumayo World Music program to provide an exciting way for children to travel the globe without leaving their hometown. Participants will embark on a journey of music and discovery that will span six continents. During each session there will be opportunities to experience world music and to participate in hands-on activities. Each child will be given a Passport Journal that will serve as a souvenir of their adventure.
FREE YOGA PROGRAM:
CCB offers free yoga classes to youth in several communities in Southeastern, PA. The goal of this program is to build self-awareness and to harmonize the mind with the body. We also aim to bring a diverse population of youth together with the purpose of creating a sense of oneness.
BOOK DONATION PROGRAM:
This program provides free books to children of low-income families and the prek-K's and after school programs that serve them. Through First Book Marketplace we are able to purchase high-quality books at a very discounted price. In our efforts to remain environmentally-conscious, we also redistribute gently-used books that are donated to CCB. If you have books that you would like to donate, please email programs@childrencreatingbridges.org or call 610-431-7385.
