Salesforce Colleague, Colin Nanka, Runs To Raise Money for Education in Africa

in Careers, Communications, Charity, Sales

Colin Nanka embraces challenge. He finds opportunities to run towards them – and sometimes right over them. This extraordinary drive for adventure led him to tackle the toughest terrain on earth: a climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro to the Olturoto village.

This experience lit a spark and he now leads an effort to raise money for school construction and supplies in Africa – Tanzania, most specifically – as a director of the Kilimanjaro Education Foundation. The big takeaway here: some experiences can change life’s trajectory and open up new opportunities. It just requires the courage to take the first step – and actually believe you can achieve your goal.

You’ll see this attitude at work in Colin’s race across Patagonia:
