The Adventure of a Lifetime

You are walking through a dense tropical jungle, scent of rain in the air. Above you exotic birds sound your arrival. Spider monkeys holler and dance on the branches above, waving their arms. A paw print in the mud signals a jaguar is near, can you hear it…? No, it’s not a dream, it’s the Ultimate Guatemala Challenge (UGC)! The Chal‐lenge is our annual fundraising event, which takes participants through three incredible challenges (40-mile jungle trek, hike up a volcano, and paddle boarding across Lake Atitlán) during an intense week that stays with you forever.
Why should you take part in the Challenge?
By taking part in this event, you will be funding the participation of more than 150 mothers and their babies in our “Healthy Mommy and Me” program. How does it work? The total cost of each participant is $1,000 (which covers hotels, tour guides, food, internal flights, and shuttles). We ask each challenger to fundraise $3,000. If you achieve your fundraising goal, ODIM will cover half of your registration, which means you only have to pay $500 to participate! To take part, you need to be in good physical shape… but you do not need to be an athlete! This is a rewarding way to give as it allows you to take part in a once in a lifetime experience with a tangible social impact. “The Ultimate Guatemala Challenge was a life changing experience that tested my physical and mental limits. I was surrounded by amazing people that inspired me through it. All to support an amazing cause and organization that has given me more than Iʼve given it.”
