Good luck, Mike. We're proud of your project in East Africa, and think that using jump rope to fight childhood obesity in Georgia is a great idea!
Good luck, Mike. Maybe there´s a Nobel Peace Prize in the offering for you ;-)

Passion...is the relative of Patience...a reason to Perservere!
Michael Fry,
WOW! One foot in the air & the other planted on solid ground, then-switch, because you've got balance.
teamLEOnardo LOVES your entry. Thanks for submitting. You are an inspiration. Age three & up is an example of perserverance.
We're going to get a couple jump ropes to increase the brain power (energy) in the LEOlab.
Peace brother,
Hop-with-us!
