Gurmeet Kaur – a mother of two, resides in Atlanta, GA. She worked as an Engineer & Software Architect in the US for 25 years before she decided to dedicate herself to the cause of preserving Punjabi language for children; as she believes that mother language and cultural heritage are children’s inalienable rights.
In the last six years her nine books have inspired thousands of children all over the world to connect to their Mother Language. She runs a non-profit organization which is now providing dual language books to underprivileged children in Punjab to restore the lost dignity and pride in their language.
In 2018, She launched the first ever children’s book for the children of Punjab on both sides of the barbed-wire-fence — the border between India and Pakistan, in both Punjabi language scripts (Gurmukhi & Shahmukhi) and English translations.
Besides her children’s literacy project in their Mother language Gurmeet Kaur is working on saving Sikh heritage in Punjab as a children’s rights issue. She is the campaign organizer for preserving the heritage at Kartarpur Sahib – resting abode of Guru Nanak, the founder of the Sikh faith.
