Climbing Mexico's third highest mountain

In December 2023, our dedicated supporter, Enrique Flores, challenged himself to climb Mt Iztaccíhuatl, just outside of Mexico City.

Enrique is a long time supporter of World Villages for Children and wanted to use his physical challenge as an opportunity to help raise awareness of poverty in Mexico and other countries where World Villages operates. He also wanted to use the climb the climb as a way to inspire people to donate and join us on our mission to end poverty through education.
