ME Damos Olas Charity Organization
Over the last 5 years Holly and I have met extrordinary people and seen beautiful places as we've assimilated into our new home. While we've given informally to many organizations and children since we've been here, we thought now was a good time to formalize and organize our philantropy. Montanita Estates' Damos Olas will start with a minimum $500 contribution every month to a local surf or community related cause for the children and athletes of the Montanita Area. Whether its sponsoring a surf related event for the locals, buying a 10 year old his first surfboard or contributing to a local aspiring professional's first trip to Asia for a surf competition, Montanita Estates is looking forward to giving back to the wonderful community that has taken us in.
September was our first month of Damos Olas and we sponsored a team of local pros including Danny Flores and Mario Gambellini to visit Peru for a surf contest. In October, we helped Isidro Chiptro to visit Venezuela for the Latin American Long Board Championships. In November we are excited to announce we will be helping to send Hamilton Borbor to visit Nicaragua for a short board contest. Lastly over the last 2 years we've given over 20 surfboards to local children and aspiring pros.
We welcome contributions from our guests and are happy to answer questions about our new philantropy organization should you be interested in helping!
