Founder, Culturfied Foundation The prize became so popular that Melton decided to brand it as a separate enterprise called Universal Explorers. The backpacks will represent at least 12 countries and will include a passport, boarding pass, map, journal, activities, souvenirs, stickers, and access to online games. This keepsake will be donated to every child in the program. Proceeds from international sales will be used as funding for the Culturfied Foundation (www.universalexplorers.com). The Culturfied Foundation has a major announcement for 2018! The organization is partnering with the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C. to reintroduce the Annual International Children’s Festival. Children of all ages are invited to grab a passport and travel the world in one day with music, food, and unforgettable fun. There will be over 22 embassies and more than 30 countries represented. The event planning committee expects nearly 15,000 participants. The festival is set for April 29, 2018. culturfied.org NURA Magazine 29
