THE INTERNATIONAL TEAM

Amaranta (Tica)

My role in the foundation:

Coordination of the international group. I'm involved in a little bit of everything: Website, finances, documentation.

Who am I?

I want to move mountains, action is my favorite word. It's better to look for alternatives and solutions than to just see problems.

What fulfills me?

I love to travel and learn about other cultures, but most of all to experience nature. My inner drive is to help those who are in trouble, whether they are animals or people. The phrase I have heard most often in my life: "You are not Mother Mary Teresa of Calcutta" (no kidding :)

Melissa & David

our role at the foundation:

fundraising and treasurer

who are we?

We are a travel-loving couple who love to spend a lot of time in nature. The decision to live vegan has not only fundamentally changed our lives but has also shown us how important it is to help all living creatures on this earth. We love cooking, taking photos and always discovering new places.

What fulfills us?

We love spending our time surrounded by animals. It's nice to see how a small step can make an animal's life so much better. Cantoalavida is exactly that place for us, where every animal gets a new chance and we feel comfortable.

Mattew (Matt)

My role in the Foundation:

Responsible for the content on the website and Instagram and passionate filmmaker and English translator.

Who am I?

I love to travel and discover new worlds. I discovered the Foundation and never left.

What fulfills me?

The welfare of creatures great and small is close to my heart, and I firmly believe that through education we can prevent the suffering of abandoned animals in cities like Campoalegre for years to come.

Lucie (Lulu)

My role in the foundation:
Coordination of volunteers

Who am I?
I am a sensitive, loving person and am very committed to the rights and liberation of non-human animals. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my friends, studying and learning about new things and being in nature.

What makes me happy?
Above all, other animals make me happy. I especially love pigeons, bees, turtles, rats, beavers,.... nevermind, I love them all! I love knowledge and am grateful for new challenges and encounters. Delicious vegan food and lying in a hammock on a nice, sunny day isn't bad either :)

Angélica

My role in the Foundation:

Project and Campaigns Manager. Spanish translator.

Who am I?

I am a person who loves nature and I think that all living beings deserve respect. Although our habits and actions have led us humans to exploit everything around us, I trust and know that there are many others who understand our way of thinking that we need to make radical changes to continue living in peace on this planet.

What fulfills me?

I love being close to nature, living with animals, helping others, creating things and generally living in peace with myself and my environment.

Anton

My role in the foundation:

Assistant for graphic design and social media

Who am I?

As a rather reserved person, loyalty and respect are two of the most important traits for me in social life and essenntial for coexisting with animals. That's why I support animal rights and try to help in the best way that feels right to me.

What makes me happy?

When I sense that animals and humans basically feel the same emotions and the same appreciation in both directions, I feel part of a peaceful world. Therefor, spending honest time with honest (animal-) friends is what makes me the happiest <3
