Austin has worked so hard on jumping rope. The 5/6 orange belts learn to jump rope continuously for 15 jumps without missing. Today Austin accomplished that and more. He will be testing for his green belt next week at Quiet Waters Park with his classmates. Congratulations!
Jump ropes for Kenya students
This past week Balanced Life Skills students made 117 jump ropes for children in Kenya who live at an orphanage. Next week I will be spending the week at the orphanage seeing what we can do to help and provide hope to the students there. The group will be traveling with martials artists from across the nation and will include singer / songwriters, artists and a full film crew as we will be filming a documentary, “Roots of Happiness”.
The trip was put together by Brian Williams and his Think Kindness organization. The documentary and our goal is to determine what it is that makes these children so happy when they have so little from an American point of view. When the film is completed, we will show it to high school students here in America to inspire them to find ways of serving others.
The film you see here is our jump rope making day at Balanced Life Skills. If you would like to help fund the supply of school supplies, teacher supplies and the shipping of the jump ropes you can by going to http://rootsofhappiness.com/joe
