Mission: We are a couple that has been working side by side with environmental organizations for many years and now we have the opportunity to collaborate with Cardano community, donating 50% of profits to these associations.

Extra Info about you?: We are Esther and Juan Carlos, a Spanish couple committed to the environment, nature, and wild and domestic animals, as well as involved in a more just and egalitarian society.

That is why Cardano drew us so much from the beginning since it is a much more equitable model.

To tell you about how this project we have at hand arose and a bit of ourselves, we must look back. When we began to collaborate with different organizations, it was more than 18 years ago; we were unaware of why it moved us to help. Then, at my 41 years old and with intense personal growth, I have realized why. And the reason is pretty simple: the pursuit of happiness, having a purpose in life.

Help is our mobile, what moves us every day to get out of bed. I am grateful to help, within my possibilities, all these organizations and many more to come. This feeling brings happiness to my life.

Over the years, we started to travel and live in different parts of the world: City where we lived, a place where we looked for ways to be helpful and help. To tell you a bit, we were helping as volunteers at the SPA in Nantes, France. In New Zealand, we fell in love with its magnificent nature and folk, and there we volunteered at Dove Hospice Palliative Care in Auckland.

Finally, we arrived in Australia, where we have been living for a few years. Here we have helped as volunteers at Vinnies. In addition, after the terrible bushfires that devastated Australia in 2019, we began to collaborate economically with WWF, and we adopted a koala at Port Macquarie Hospital. Currently, I collaborate as a volunteer at MARSS teaching computer science classes.

With this new project, we want to spread their work, give a voice, support, and help all these organizations and many more that need our help.
