Since the beginning of its foundation the Natural Freedivers have been fighting for the protection of marine life and its environment. But we also can not be blind to human suffering. Human lives matter to us equally. We are deeply concerned with the tragedy happening now in Gaza.
We cannot be passive seeing what is happening in the Middle East, the injustice that the Palestinian people are suffering, and where women and children are the most vulnerable. For this reason, the association launched a Freedivers project for Gaza: a series of solidarity workshops to demonstrate our solidarity with the Palestinians who are going through difficult times, leaving aside political opinions, since the only vision we can have now is that we feel deep sadness when we see the massacre of the people who are suffering by the government of Israel. We allocate 100% of the profits from this solidarity event to humanitarian aid to the victims of Gaza.
We held our first solidarity workshop on November 26 and we dedicated it to Gaza Sunbirds, a sports group of disabled cyclists from Gaza who, instead of training, are dedicating their time and efforts despite the very difficult conditions, distributing humanitarian aid to the victims of the conflict.
