So please welcome to the show the president and CEO of Kids Across the World, jeff Rosine. What's up, my friend? How are you? Hey, good man, how's it going?

Speaker 3:

We're great You've got a little usher to start with. I do you know throwback. It's just a great memory.

Speaker 1:

Have you ever seen usher in concert? I have.

Speaker 3:

I will say I did in high school. Yes, I did, it was epic.

Speaker 1:

Yes, Go yes. Long time ago. That was an awesome show. Yeah yeah, let's not date ourselves. I'm a 90s kid, but we don't need to talk about it.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1:

But usher was quite the influence back in the day, Great walk-up song. That's. One thing I love about the show is that we always get walking music. We never know what it's going to be. Everybody gets their own. So a lot of a lot of fun with that, which is great. Jeff, give a quick introduction of yourself and what you guys are doing over at Kids Across the World.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, kids Around the World. I'm going to correct you, real quick Kids Around the World.

Speaker 1:

Sorry about that, I totally got it wrong, it's all right, it's very similar, but that's all right.

Speaker 3:

Man, yeah, we're a nonprofit organization and, honestly, we exist to empower communities and we do that through kids, of course, through children through a strategy where we utilize food, we utilize story and then we utilize play, and we do this in environments and communities all across the globe.

Speaker 1:

Man, you're speaking my language, food story and play. I mean, that's like a good day.

Speaker 2:

That's a good day it is, you know, if you get some good food and hear some good stories and have a lot of fun.

Speaker 1:

I think that's awesome. Yeah, very cool, very cool. Well, before we dig into that, a couple of things. First of all, thank you for being on the show. Are you a coffee drinker or are you a water drinker? Which one do you like? We're going to send you one of these to be on the show today. Which one do you want?

Speaker 3:

I'm a coffee drinker until eight o'clock and then I'm a water drinker. So which one you want? Both? The water man. It looks like a great travel bottle. I travel a lot so it is a great bottle.

Speaker 1:

It's one of my favorite. I love this one, my favorite water bottles, but we might just send you both. You never know, you might get both in the mail. But we appreciate you being on the show today. Man, thanks for that Fun fact about you You're a baseball enthusiast. Are you gearing up for the World Series? Are you excited about what's to come here with the Diamondbacks and the Rangers?

Speaker 3:

I am. I'm still a little shocked of who was in the World Series, but that's the fun of majoring baseball. I've been explaining to my son, who's seven I'm like it's not always the best teams during the regular season that make the World Series and so, yeah, we're excited to watch it Absolutely.

Speaker 1:

It's the teams that get hot at the right moment. Baseball is such a game of timing and all of that sequencing, so just you just never know. The layoffs usually hurt the teams that are at the top, so it'll be a good series, that's for sure. At their time of our recording here, the World Series has not happened, but when we launched this it probably will either be in the middle of it or maybe even over. So I got to ask who's your pick? Are you going with the Rangers or the Diamondbacks?

Speaker 3:

Oh man, I got a lot of good buddies in Dallas, so I'm going to go with the Rangers. I am yeah. I'm feeling them, and the Diamondbacks put my Cubs out of the playoffs too, so there's a little bad blood on that side.

Speaker 1:

So how interesting, okay. So some people, whenever a team takes out their team, they start rooting for that team. You're, on the other hand, you're like no chance. I'm not happy about this at all. So it sounds like you're going on the Rangers, rangers all the way.

Speaker 3:

Rangers and six.

Speaker 1:

It's funny how we think about this. You got friends in Dallas, so that's that's kind of some some reasoning for that. My mom would say you know, the Rangers just haven't won in a while. They just deserve it. The Diamondbacks of one before like she's very much into the equity side of things in the world, so she she'd be probably going for the Rangers just because it's you know it's not fair. They should get a chance to win. I'm like, well, you're not guaranteed to win, like you have to go.

Speaker 3:

Well, what's see what I'd rather live in. I'm gonna go for that.

Speaker 1:

Well, I'll tell you what's fascinating about the the championship series. Both of them went to seven games and in the, in the Houston arena, after the Astros Ranger series, the home team lost every game. Yeah, that's almost unheard of like. That is really crazy. It's hard to, you know, not win a home playoff game. That's really hard to do. And none of them won a home playoff game. That's crazy. Both of them went to game sevens and the road team won both game seven. So those teams are definitely tested. It's gonna be a I think it's gonna be a fun series.

Speaker 1:

Yes, I tend to think the Diamondbacks have a little bit more horsepower, so I may. I may lean towards them, but I'm not sure that I'm ready to make a pick yet. I'm gonna sit on the fence for just a few more days here and Go that route, all right, yeah, so let's jump. Let's jump in real quick before we go to get into kids around the world. Have you heard of Savannah bananas? Have you gone to any games? You know what they're doing.

Speaker 3:

Um, I have heard of them. I was actually in Savannah a couple years ago but they were not playing. But I've heard.

Speaker 1:

It's not baseball, if you're. If you're a baseball purist and enthusiast, it might be hard, but it's really entertaining man. It's a lot of fun.

Speaker 1:

Especially if you've got kids we went to a game and man, it's like two hours of just entertainment. Dude, it was. It was something you know, as long as you, as long as you go into it. No, saying this is not baseball, it's yes, you can have a, you can have a good time. But one thing they do really well is they they is branding, is building their brand. They've done an incredible job of doing that. You know, you've been Working with kids around the world for a while. What have been some things that you've done to get the word out? You know and and obviously be on the show here, but what else have you done?

Speaker 3:

Well, I'm actually I'm very new to my my existing role as of actually about two weeks, and so that's been, that's been an exciting transition. I've I've served here at the ministry for 17 years. You know, one, one very unique thing I would say about us is that we truly believe in partnership. There's so many amazing groups out there all across the globe. You know, we don't, we don't want to duplicate what we do, and so we're we're very intentional on Seeking out other like-minded partners where, hey, how can we do this together? How can we help you? How can you help us? You know, involved in all sorts of networks, right, maybe, whether it be corporate networks or church networks, or Even like university networks. You know, whatever we can do, we have great marketing team too. It's you know, I've got it social media presence and all that stuff as well.

Speaker 1:

But partnership is in our DNA, so it has to be, I think, for, for nonprofits, you know. I mean, you're spreading the word and getting people to jump on board be a part of your story and and want to, you know, talk about. I think it's so critical. What is your story? How did you, you know, start kids around the world? What led to that?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, so I. I've actually been blessed to be involved since 1995.

Speaker 1:

You're probably thinking how old are you? 1995? Very well, yeah, okay.

Speaker 3:

I was 14 at the time, but I was 17.

Speaker 3:

But our. It was a second playground bill. One things we do we take playgrounds from the states, we refurbish them, we ship them all across the globe. And there was a. My hometown is Rockford, illinois. It was a sister city project For another city in Ukraine and they wanted to bless the community, bless the city with something.

Speaker 3:

And this was just after the Soviet Union had broken up and they decided, hey, let's do something for the kids, like everybody's doing all these great things, but it's more adult focused. And so in 94 they decided to do the original playground build, which, of course, went over. Fantastic. Right, there's nothing like structures like this over there at the time. And this was new, a new structure actually as well. And then our would be founder, after that bill, approached the, the mayor of the city and said, hey, we want to, we want to come back, we wanted another playground. Mayors like, yes, that sounds amazing what he said at this time. We want to be able to go into your schools and distribute Bibles and do some evangelism. And the mayor basically said whatever you can do, whatever you want, as long as you build another playground.

Speaker 3:

That trip was when my father was actually asked to, to play an integral role in it and being 14. I was like, can I go? And so I was. You know I was. I was allowed I'll say that to go on the trip. It was an amazing trip and I didn't start working at kids around Excuse me kids around the world till I was 25. But I have to have a feeling that that kind of planted a seed and just being able to give back with my life and in my career and she just blessed children Because kids honestly deserve to be kids and to have just the rights that we have.

Speaker 1:

So what was that first trip? Like 14 years old. What kind of impression that make. What do you remember about that trip?

Speaker 3:

Oh, so you're gonna laugh. So I had braces at the time. This is stuff that I remember. Okay, this was almost 30 years ago.

Speaker 1:

I had braces at the time I'm conscious about yes, very self-conscious every kid.

Speaker 3:

I interacted with was like you know what's on your teeth. I Was kind of paraded around. So do you remember the San Diego chicken Back in the day? All right, so, I had a San Diego chicken costume that I went all over in, which was a pretty big deal back then.

Speaker 1:

I'm sure it's probably been a big deal. This is part of the negotiation to get together. Yeah, this had to be part. Like hey, you can go on the trip, but you got to wear a chicken costume. You have to wear a chicken costume.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, here's the rules, you know. But from a missional impact standpoint, you know, we, even today, we call it payday where you, you, you sweat and you, you work side by side with local communities to build these playgrounds and then to see the children's faces the first time they play. There's nothing like it. I mean, there's nothing better. I mean, after, even after you know, we've, we've been able to build over 1200 playgrounds all across the globe. Like that never gets old, ever gets old. And so for that, that first time, being able just to see the pure joy and not being able to get kids off a playground, it was. I'll never, ever forget that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you know we take so many things for granted. We just drive past playgrounds and oftentimes just don't even realize the, the, the, the main blessings and conveniences that are just right here at our fingertips. And for these kids, you know, to have something like that, it becomes the, the, the center of their town, the focal point of their neighborhood is to get to a, to a playground and come together and have fun. And I can only imagine that feeling of joy when you see these kids that see this thing and get it built and then, like we get, this is ours, we have to play on this kind of thing. Like that's just got to be unbelievable.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, I mean, that was. That was something that I don't think we realized back in the mid nineties, but just the the transformation that a playground really can have in a community Cause, like you just said it, it becomes a gathering place. You know, obviously kids are going to come, but then moms come and you know, ideally if we can get the dads to come there and it's a, it's a safe place, it's a place that they can just laugh and you know if, if they're, if the children are dealing with you know a specific trauma in their life or they don't necessarily have a lot of the things that we're blessed with. You know, here in the States, like they can forget about that. Right, they can just, they can have fun, they can laugh and they can smile.

Speaker 1:

So yeah, you know when, when, when I look back on my wife and I's life, some of the happiest times that we had was when we lived in a small apartment and in that apartment complex there was a playground and we would take our kids down and they would play and we would have fun together and we'd run around together and there was just so much joy there. We were outside, it was a nature and just some of the best times of our lives, you know, and that can bring a community together can bring. We met a lot of people in the apartment complex there. We created friendships from people in the in the complex there at, you know, at those playground sessions and you know, when you see a mom or dad sitting and they're exhausted and the kids are having fun, it's almost even a little bit of margin for the parents just to get a little break and let the kids play. And that's a blessing too, because kids are nonstop.

Speaker 3:

And so you're asked to climb to the very top of the slide and you're trying to like fit through all the tunnels.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, Not every time, but you know, a few times you throw that in there and do that, which is great. So that's the that's the play portion of what you do. You also talked about story and one other aspect. Talk about some of the other things that you guys are doing as well.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, so we have, like I mentioned, feed, play story and ideally we love to incorporate the three prong strategy together. We like to utilize the playground in a community to, as I mentioned before you know, not only be a place where the children can be safe and play, but also have a weekly club. It's a discipleship club where, you know, children just come and learn about Jesus and are in a safe place. We have an interactive strategy where they're very involved in the process of the storytelling. And then, in addition to that, in the communities that we specifically serve and where we have staff, we have a feeding program where we pack meals here in the States and there's rice, there's lentils, the hygrid vegetables and then a vitamin packet that goes in the meals. This year we'll ship about 14 million meals and a lot of these go into these specific communities where you know.

Speaker 3:

One thing I really love about this is we're not specifically sending the food to like a feeding center or a kitchen, but it's actually going into the hands of moms and it's moms that sign their kid into our program and say, yes, I believe in this, I believe in my child coming to this club every single week. I believe in nutrition and we're really trying to empower her and empower the family. I mean, as you know, I'm not sure if you've done international travel much, but that's one thing that I wish we did a better job of in the States is just the family dynamic of eating together is such a big deal, honestly, in any developing world country, I mean it's oh, it's five o'clock or it's eight o'clock, it's dinner time. We're going to sit down together and the fact that you know we can help to play even a part of empowering the family and, in addition, you know, supplying nutrition to a child is a real big blessing.

Speaker 1:

So, yeah, I'm going to direct a consumer play for you guys. You guys are signing people up for your program and getting the food directly to them, which I think is awesome. Yeah, and providing some weekly opportunities. Do you send a staff member into these communities or do you recruit somebody who's already there to become a part of kind of the leader of that effort in that club?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, so we have, we have. We have stateside staff, but then we also have international staff. Right now we're in six different countries with that team. You know really believe in empowering local people. I mean they know their communities better and then, within all the communities that we serve, they look to train and resource leaders that can run the individual communities. And so that you know, like we don't we don't want to be the US based charity coming in to say you do this, you do this, you do this like we want to help develop relationships with these communities, with these leaders, we want to empower them, we want to ask them like, hey, how can we serve together better, um, with the ultimate goal of just blessing the children?

Speaker 1:

So what countries are you guys in so far?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, so right now we have our international headquarters is Ecuador and then we also have I just got back from Uganda. We have some staff in Uganda, more in the northern part of the country, up near a lot of the South Sudanese refugees camps. We also have staff in Dominican Republic, eastern Europe, the Philippines and Congo right now.

Speaker 1:

So wow, wow all over the world, I mean all over the globe. Yeah, and I, as a strategy then, to maybe try to spread out from those locations in those regions to touch more, more countries, more communities, more yeah you know that's, that's one of my I mean personally, I'm a I'm a depth person.

Speaker 3:

You know I don't, I don't need to be wide Um, and our team has really made a big shift in the last couple years of how can we go deeper in these specific places, um, and, you know, continue to establish more leaders and go. So, however it may look right, we treat every community a little bit different, um, when we intentionally are that way, we don't want to have, you know, one, one specific model, but just kind of the, the core components of what we believe in, and then we're going to address each community uniquely, um, and find partners and donors to help us do that.

Speaker 1:

So and how is this possible? I mean, how are you uh, you know funding this? How are you finding the projects? Talk about the process for finding projects and then Funding them, because clearly this is a big yeah.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, so we're uh, we are 100 percent donation based organization and we get Support and funds from honestly, you name it you know a lot of great individuals support the organization. Uh, we have a growing corporate sponsorship side of what we do. We work with Hundreds of churches every single year. We work with universities, with clubs. Um, yeah, I mean, you name it literally across the board. We're just blessed to have so many partners.

Speaker 1:

So yeah, that's incredible. I was gonna ask that because I'm sure you know individual donations are great, but you know corporate donations and getting corporations involved, um with this is a way to potentially have a little bit bigger bang for the buck. You know, potentially have, uh, have a bigger check being written, those types of things all tax deductible. You guys are 501c3, I'm assuming, yeah in that regard, which is great. So, again, if people want to be a part of it, we just put it up on the screen kidsacrosstheworldcom.

Speaker 3:

It's how they kids around the world.

Speaker 1:

It's around the. Do I say across again?

Speaker 2:

I did it again. Man, it's terrible kids around the world.

Speaker 3:

It's not the first time, it's okay, man.

Speaker 1:

You know what's interesting is. I know why I'm doing this.

Speaker 1:

Um, when I was in college, I worked at a christian sports camp down in branson, missouri, and they have cannecuck, which is the the the only way to go to, okay, but they have kids across america which is, um, a kid, a camp that's really for inner city kids and I worked at that camp and I love that. It was phenomenal, such a great experience and it's in the back of my mind, I know it is like even when I'm like, say kids around, say kids around, kids across comes out. So my apologies on that, but that's great. So if people want to get involved, then go to kidsaroundtheworldcom and in that case they can volunteer to help, they can pack meals. I believe it's possible. They can make donations as well. Um, what are, what are some other ways that people can be involved or to help you guys out?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, so I mean we're we're always looking for a variety of partners to engage. I mean, like you said, packing meals. Um, right now we're going through a big kind of strategy Dialing deeper into corporate partnerships. I mean we do, we do a lot of uh, I just say like logistical things. Like you wouldn't think a nonprofit is logistical, but I mean we're shipping stuff all across. I know you focus a lot on logistics. We ship all kinds of stuff. We ship product all across the country.

Speaker 3:

Uh, for our food program, we're we're tearing out playgrounds, you know, majorly coming from the midwest, and then we're also sending, you know, 80 to 100 containers every single year. And so, you know, even looking down the corporate side of things, um groups that just believe in what we're doing, um gift and kind type of of partnerships, um, you know getting. One of the things I love about this ministry is that you can, you know, not only Serve or be involved here stateside in a, in a simple way, whether it be volunteering one of our offices or packing meals, but then you can, on the flip side, you can travel internationally if you want and see the impact. Um, you know we have open trips where people Can help. You know, go build the playground somewhere and they can see our, our hope zones is what we call the communities that we serve in. Be a part of distributing the meals. You know, going into people's homes, eating with them, which is extremely humbling and and a neat experience, um so lots of different ways to get involved.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I love this, jeff. I'm so excited that we're connected. We're gonna have to make this happen, because I would. It would be such an honor to go on a trip and be a part of Seeing that and experiencing what you experienced as well. Plus, I'm glad you're on the show because a lot of people to listen to show are in logistics and transportation, and so there are companies that could potentially donate some services or help out with the logistics side of shipping, container shipping, meals, those types of things as well. Correct?

Speaker 3:

Absolutely yeah, no, that's uh, I was just talking with our team out that a couple weeks ago. I mean we have state side. We have currently we have five warehouses that we're. All of our product that we're doing especially from a food standpoint, goes to our illinois warehouse and then is distributed all across the united states. I'm probably looking at opening up another one in florida at some point next year. Uh yeah, lots of, lots of opportunities in logistics world.

Speaker 1:

I absolutely love it, absolutely love it. Well, we're gonna have to figure out a way to Uh create a partnership between what we do and what you do to keep this one going, because we would love to just keep Pushing this out there and remind people that there's opportunities to really make a difference, uh, in the lives of of kids and families and communities. I just think it's tremendous where you're doing, man, so I'm really really excited to have you on the show. Before we let you go today, we have to have a little bit of fun, all right, all right, we we like to have a little fun on the show, so today we're gonna play a little game.
