Education has always been important to Lynn, a 27-year football veteran who at the age of 49 re-enrolled in school, determined to obtain his bachelor’s degree.
Lynn’s association with education resurfaced once again three years ago when a friend, Ravi Reddy, a former linebacker for the University of Texas, told Lynn that there was a critical need to build schools in Africa.
Reddy, who had founded a nonprofit organization called Privilege 2 Serve, told Lynn of his dream of building a school in Tanzania and asked for his help to raise $350,000.
The couple and their two children traveled to Tanzania last June to open the school in Lanjani, a rural Maasai village in East Africa that is home to 8,500 people.
The one-story kindergarten to third grade school with grey walls and a red roof was built for 300 children through Anthony’s Lynn Family Foundation in partnership with Privilege 2 Serve.
