In Japan, Kei plays Freeze Tag, while in Uganda, Daphine likes to jump rope. While the way they play may differ, the shared rhythm of their days - and this one world we all share - unites them.

This genuine exchange provides a window into traditions that may be different from our own as well as mirrors reflecting our common experiences.
