EarthThreads International

(Update: 09/05/2026) We are still in the effort of raising $1,000 for Codesh Ministries And the kids camps they facilitate in the mountains of Momostenango-Totonicapan, Guatemala. It is our hope to also raise the money that an affiliate charity is in need of. The academy for the deaf and the blind in Xela Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, is only halfway built. It is our hope that we can raise the money for the rest of their facility and school supplies for the children. Please contact us if you are interested, giving a donation and making this wish come true.  Sincerely, 𝓒𝓪𝓶𝓲𝓵𝓪 𝓐𝓵𝓮𝓳𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓻𝓪 𝓦𝓲𝓵𝓼𝓸𝓷 Founder of EarthThreads International Now to the article; EarthThreads International 2024 Project Collaboration with Codesh Ministries!

My name is Camila Alejandra Wilson Avila-Nimatuj, and I am attempting to summit all 14 Peaks above 8000m. Not only am I attempting to summit all of the world's Eight-Thousanders, I am attempting to do it in consecutive order and to be the first Guatemalan-American woman to do so. The goal of this fundraiser is to raise the money for me and my training partner, Awu Wu, to train with the world's best expedition and wilderness rescue groups, and to collect enough money to begin purchasing the necessary gear and permits to begin our attempt at the world's 14 tallest mountains, and the basic equipment necessary to document it. As we begin the first of the 14 peaks, we hope to gain momentum in our fundraising goal and use the public platform to push us to the end of our summits, and with the publicity that it generates, use this for initiatives that will promote green peace and preventative awareness around the world. Ever since I was a child, I have had the dream to change the w...

Currently, this project is being slowed down by the fact that I have to do physical therapy with an orthopedic and chiropractor! The first week of May 2024 I will still be summiting Central America's tallest peak, Tajumulco, as well as Acatenango and the neighboring Volcán de Fuego! I will be solo-hiking Santa María Volcano the evening of April 25, 2024, and rugged camping overnight to see the eruptions of Santiaguito next door in Volcano Alley, and using the light of the sunrise early the next morning to pick up what I can from the famous trash trail that characterizes this hike. Hiking and training all of this year and raising funds throughout the year for the training and wilderness medical courses while continuing and completing my degree and education at the University of Houston-Downtown. Stay tuned for University activities and Hiking Treks! This Year 2024's OFFICIAL project collaboration will be with CODESH MINISTRIES! Goal: $2000 for scholarships, New Garden Bed for Ki...

 In 2023, I spent two months volunteering for the All Hands and Hearts Natural Disaster Relief Team, in Fort Myers, Florida, and in Cabot, Vermont, and a few weeks in Nepal's Earthquake Disaster Relief Program. (Worksite in Cabot, Vermont) It was like living in an action movie. All of the volunteers would meet in the morning, with the sun rising, and have their coffee and breakfast, and check their phones (if they were the seasoned volunteers) for weather reports, natural disaster reports, and other national survey sites. It was like being a part of a secret heroes association. (Selfie of me in front of the waterfall at the wedding venue we helped clear their barn in Vermont) We visit all kinds of places, as volunteers, always in teams set up by our staff. After ur morning meetings, we would get the gears needed for that team's assignment, whetehr it was Mucking and Gutting, or Scrubbing and Vacuuming for the Sanitation Crew, we were preparing homes for rebuild after the floodi...
