WHY SUPPORT BAWT
Why Support BAWT?
Helping transform a developing community vision into practical opportunities.
Your support can help BAWT move from building the foundation to recruiting, producing, promoting and delivering opportunities through publishing, advertising, culture, music, events, tourism and community participation.
1-NOTE — CK KUYA is “FICTIONAL.” Not any real ghost or paranormal claims but just a story. Like an artist’s canvas, it bears the tales only. <Read clarification…>
BAWT is not raising support for one isolated event. We are building connected doorways through which more people may participate, contribute, develop and benefit.
The Foundation Is Already Being Built
Considerable time, personal investment, research and development have already gone into creating the BAWT and CK KUYA online ecosystem. The next stage is to strengthen these foundations and turn them into active participation, production and earning opportunities.

The initial structure now exists. However, websites and ideas alone cannot recruit, train, produce, promote and serve communities at the required scale. Funding is needed to move from continuous founder-funded development into organized delivery.
What Support Can Help Accomplish
During the next stage of development, financial and professional support can help BAWT pursue the following practical priorities.
Who Can Benefit?
The purpose is not to create opportunity for only one type of person. BAWT is developing multiple entrances because people possess different skills, circumstances, interests and abilities.
Helping More People Enter the Door
Not everyone will become a singer, writer, vendor or advertiser. The BAWT model is intended to provide different pathways through which people may participate according to their abilities, interests and circumstances.
Everyone may not do the same thing—but everyone should have an opportunity to discover where they can contribute.

Support can take several forms. Financial contributions are important, but partnerships, services, introductions, venues, equipment, media access and professional expertise can also help move the mission forward.

BAWT is still developing several initiatives. Supporting the mission does not guarantee personal selection, employment, income, sales, performance placement or a particular project outcome. Opportunities will depend on available funding, readiness, eligibility, participation standards, partnerships and project needs.
As fundraising programs and project budgets are finalized, specific campaign goals, eligible uses of funds, milestones and supporter acknowledgements will be presented through the applicable campaign or partnership materials.
A Message from the Founder
“For years, much of this work has been carried forward through personal effort, sacrifice and continuous learning. The foundation now demonstrates what is possible. Support at this stage can help transform that foundation into opportunities that more people can actually enter and experience.”
