New Single Rope Speed Record

The single rope speed record for East Africa, which has stood at 60 for the past month, has been broken. Last Saturday, 11-year old Constance from Kibera reached a score of 64 right-footed jumps in 30 seconds. That's 128 total jumps. With a licorice rope. With one mistake. At the end of a 3 hour training session.

I leave for Moshi today. It's been an amazing month here in Kibera, and I wish I could stay longer, but I'm excited to see all of the kids from Mkombozi, Amani, and Tunahaki. I'll spend the next three days in Moshi, return to Nairobi, then head to Mombasa for a few days. Check back for videos soon!
