Mike Caputo

My name is Mike Caputo and I live in Pennington, NJ.  2019 will be my 5th Hundred Hole hike.  I am playing for Bega Kwa Bega, which means “shoulder to shoulder” in Swahili.  This is an organization established by my father in-law Rev Gary Langness as a way to help the community in and around Iringa, Tanzania.  Over the last 30 years Bega Kwa Bega has helped establish one of Tanzania’s leading universities as well as helping people with some of the basic needs of life. Current projects we are working on include sponsoring the Hruma Orphanage, helping kids afford secondary education, paying for qualified students to attend the Ilula Nursing School, the Ilula Hospital Emergency Fund, and drilling wells for remote villages, among others.  The Hundred Hole Hike is a fun and inspirational way to raise money for a great cause.  Thanks for your support.
