Tupande Kileleni: Lets Climb to the Summit Together is the compelling story of Africas first American football game, the Global Kilimanjaro Bowl, and how dedicated teams of individuals from Iowa, USA, Mexico, and Tanzania were brought together to make the dream of one passionate coach a reality! This nonfiction work from Global Football president and founder, Patrick Steenberge, is an inspiring tale of the multiyear preparation and the ultimately successful journey of two college football teams from uniquely different cultures that traveled halfway around the world to impact the lives of Tanzanians through service, friendship, and sport. The student athletes and university staff experienced a land of stark contrasts and stunning beauty. Ultimately, they went together to the summit of the worlds tallest freestanding mountain, and they celebrated as one triumphant team. As you will come to fully appreciate, this story is about a dream rooted in faith, a group of men and women who embodied the dream, and their commitment to serve and succeed.
