Sowal House Podcast: Kids of Kilimanjaro + Endeavor Expeditions
SOWAL House | 6/19/2024
In this heartwarming season opener, Dave had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Jim and Kristi Sumpter, Chandler Williams, and Kenzie Burleigh to discuss their life-changing journey with the nonprofit organization Kids of Kilimanjaro.
We explored the emotional and transformative impact of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, the deep connections formed with the local community, and the powerful stories that emerged from their experiences.
Jim shared the origins of Kids of Kilimanjaro, highlighting the profound desire to seek light and joy in the world by supporting the education of children in Tanzania. We also delved into the preparations for the climb, the unique challenges faced, and the role of yoga in fostering a strong bond between climbers and porters. Our conversation touched on the importance of empowering women within the climbing community and the ripple effect of their support on the lives of the children and families they met.
