The GET IT BACK System Makes it to Africa

By Glenn Hattem · July 22, 2009 · Filed in Jump Rope, Travel

Local writer Aimee Heckel wrote a recent article in Boulder’s Daily Camera about her personal experience using the GET IT BACK system. She then took what she learned to the Kyangwali Refugee Camp in Western Uganda where she shared her new passion and jump rope skills with the kids in the village.

Now’s your chance to really make a difference in the world. GET IT BACK…and then GIVE something back!

Sometimes getting your mind and body in the best possible shape leads to making the world a better place. Aimee and her mom run a non-profit organization that goes every year to Uganda and hands out aid to those in need. If you want to be a part of a great cause and a really cool organization, Think Humanity is located in Boulder, Colorado. Their mission statement is to create a positive change for refugees in Africa.

Their main projects are:

Malaria prevention and treatment
A daycare/orphanage for children younger than age 5
A self-sustaining livestock project to feed residents and help provide an income
A hostel to house and feed girls so they can go to school.
Leadership training and empowering of the refugee leaders of the organization; all of their projects are determined and driven by the refugee administrators.
