In the Warmth of the NFL offseason, Los Angeles Chargers coach Anthony Lynn has been in Tanzania, in East Africa, Starting up a College.

Lynn, along with his wife, NBC New York news anchor Stacey Bell, helped fund a school in a rural Maasai village of Lanjani from the northern portion of the nation. In a telephone conversation with Jenny Vrentas of SI.com in Tanzania, Lynn recently detailed his summer-break trip to Africa.
“These children were getting pushed to the work force as early as possible, growing up without education at all,” Lynn said. “It was sad, as where do your dreams and fantasies come from if you don’t have that? How do you understand if you like science till you take a mathematics course? As soon as I learned about the circumstance, I felt as though I had to get involved.”

The faculty will help provide education for the rural population that has seen their way of life challenged recently by hotter weather and erratic rains due to climate change, along with many other regional obstacles. Classes are expected to begin this past week, per Vrentas, with roughly 300 boys and girls in grades K-3. Lynn hopes that the school will offer kids another route through education. Lynn explained to Vrentas a few of the challenges the school is working through as it gets started. 1 example is that the college opens in 10 a.m. daily because lions feed to 9 a.m.
“These are things I never would have understood if I didn’t come over here,” Lynn said of his trip.
Lynn said he intends to bring the lessons learned in Africa back to Los Angeles when Chargers training camp opens later this month.
“I always try to take life experiences and use them in soccer terms,” Lynn said. “A lot of times, once you’re able to help develop these young men into better guys, they’ll also become better soccer players. It’s something we’ll talk about: Doing more with less, and having the right attitude. Whenever you have the grit and toughness that I have seen here in Tanzania, and also you place positivity behind this, you can do anything you want to do.”
Lynn explained the trip surprisingly might have left as big an impression on him as it did to the children he’s serving.
“You know, you go someplace, and you hope to help people and have an effect, and they end up with an effect on you,” he said. “Their resiliency, their toughness, their mindset, their smiles. You see it and experience it, and it makes you love everything you really have.”
