The 2011 Global Kilimanjaro Bowl – the first college American football game ever staged in Africa, as told from the viewpoint of event producer Patrick Steenberge in Tupande Kileleni: Let’s Climb to the Summit Together.
The inspiring story of how determined individuals from three nations came together as one team to play the first-ever game of American football on the African continent can now be purchased online from the world’s number one online retailer Amazon.com and in store and online from Barnes & Noble, the largest retail bookseller in the United States.
“In January 2010 Coach Chris Creighton of Drake University came to me with his dream, to take his football team to Tanzania to compete, to serve, to experience and to summit Mount Kilimanjaro,” explains Steenberge. “On May 26, almost 18 months later, 134 of us stood together on top of the world’s tallest freestanding mountain, as one team.
This story should inspire everyone who reads it to dream, believe, persevere and work in cooperation with others. As the sub-title reads, it will motivate folks to Create your Team; Develop their Dream.”
