Remember sitting outside on the front porch with your friends on a warm summer day eating ice-cream?  Nobody wanted to play tag or hide and go seek any more, so you all did the next best thing: jump rope. Even as the years roll by and fashions, fads, and technology change, jump rope has still found a way to stay active in the lives of both children and adults throughout the world.

On Tuesday, our kids from the Broadway Club received a chance to meet a group of young professional jump rope team members from Tanzania and Kenya. These very special visitors are a part of a non- profit organization called One World One Rope. This organization is a global instructional jump rope program that has started jump rope teams all over the world. Our club members’ cultural awareness increased as they discovered and talked about the differences and similarities between our guests and themselves. They also learned a lot of new jump rope tricks as well. These are some pictures of our members interacting with One World One Rope team members.

We would like to thank One World One Rope for taking time out their busy schedule to come and jump rope across the border with our kids.
