BKP is an acronym for Bagong Kulturang Pinoy, a Tagalog phrase which translates to “new Filipino culture.”  We are a non-profit organization, driven by the efforts of volunteers, whose mission is to develop a reading culture and promote literacy among children in poverty-stricken areas of the Philippines.  Our goal is to help these children acquire strong reading skills and a proficiency in the English language with the belief that this will provide the solid education that will lead to better opportunities for their future.
