About Us
Children of the Future International (CFI) is a 501(c)3 non-profit international organization dedicated to serving, empowering and education children of all communities through entertainment.
So many children today do not know their own values and where they belong. They need to be a part of or belong to something in order to feel loved and accepted in society. Not knowing that they have the right to be in this world and craving attention very often leads them to become part of the wrong group.
King Nat Jr. and Helen A. Q. Mankaa, goodwill ambassadors of African culture, traditions, and customs together with a group of educators, have devoted their love, energy and time to develop an education program for children which teaches them not only about different cultural diversities, traditions and customs, but also strengthens their self esteem and interest on creation instead of destruction; love instead of hatred.
Our children are 100% our future. It is important to keep them away from the streets, violence, drugs and all the negative things they are constantly surrounded by. Therefore we have to educate them in many of the subjects they will encounter in the future. With this knowledge, they will not be so intimidated when faced with adversity.
Our Program
The program is an educational performance playing, while King Nat Jr. and his group of educators will take the children on a magical journey through different countries around the world. These children will participate in traditional dances, play instruments, dress in national attires and help perform in events. A different country or continent will be chosen in each session and will be developed in three parts.
A. GEOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
By looking at the map, we will specify a country’s location, climate zone, vegetation and the main events in it’s history.
B. SOCIAL LIFE
Supported by pictures and videotapes, we will give an insight into the everyday life of a child in the selected area.
C. CULTURE AND TRADITION
We will show the magic that makes every country unique by listening to traditional music and stories, looking at artwork, different customs and instruments.
THE GOAL
This program is a constructive and positive way of educating children in a simplified way. Making it fun for children and opening up their mind to encourage different cultures, races and traditions which they are constantly surrounded by.
THE SPECIFICATIONS

As a child, King Nat Jr. acquired a deep knowledge of African culture, traditions and customs from his grandfather Nana Suo Amoa Kpangny Tano Kotobere, “King Nat Jr. Sr.” chief of Agbossu Village of one thousand inhabitants.
King Nat Jr. and Helen Q. Mankaa and a group of educators have devoted their love, energy and time to develop an international children’s program which teaches children not only about different cultural diversities but in addition improve their self esteem on creation instead of destruction, love instead of hatred. King lives by his grandfather’s principles of: Innovation, creativity, originality and authenticity.
King Nat Jr. has spent time consulting on African culture for major motion picture and television including the recent Walt Disney animated picture, “The Legend of Tarzan”.

King’s greatest passion is being involved with any historical project.
