In July 2007, six people left their homes and traveled to Tanzania,
East Africa, to visit their friend Billy Bludgus. The goal of the visit was to raise funds for the House of Blue Hope
orphanage project in Mabibo. The group climbed Mt. Kilamanjaro, the highest point on the African continent. Through
sponsors and donations, the climb raised more than $20,000. The group included Greg Garguilo, New Jersey; Scott Sadowski
and Joe Fernandez, New York; Adam Weise, Florida; Philip Pauly and Judith Scholte, Cologne, Germany; and Bludgus.
“Good
Times for a Good Cause” was held on November 10, 2007. The event was held at Philadelphia at McGillicuddy’s in
Manayunk. Tickets to the event were sold to raise funds for the House of Blue Hope Orphanage Project. Guests from Boston,
New York, New Jersey, and the greater Philadelphia area were present to show their support for Nyumba Ya Blue Hope. With a
turnout of about 90 people, we were able to raise $1,270.
