The 'State of Being' is a recovery and education center for horses, and people alike, where those who have been exploited, mistreated or abandoned, receive the necessary care to have a decent life for the rest of their lives. We focus on natural horsemanship. Located just above Lagos in the Algarve, Portugal. Follow us at http://stateofbeing.nl We depend on donations from people like you and until the official association is established all funds will be transferred through a private account.

Following Israel's relentless and indiscriminate attacks on Gaza over several months of war, families are drinking unsafe water and going days without food. The health system has completely collapsed amid outbreaks of disease and serious injuries caused by the constant bombardment. Despite this, our teams continue to work tirelessly to save lives.

Open Arms opens its arms to women, men, boys, girls and all those fleeing horror, looking for a chance. The humanitarian emergency in the Mediterranean does not stop and our mission is to protect the lives of the most vulnerable at sea, and on land continues. Working in schools on human rights and empathy and denouncing all injustices is our mission as well. From your hand we can prevent more deaths. We need each other. You are needed.
