DareToCare – Animal Welfare Podcast
This time Masha talked to Maad Abu-Ghazalah. He lives in the U.S.A., but his roots are in Nablus, Palestine. 2014 Maad founded the NGO Daily Hugz, a safe space both for humans and non-human animals, in a village called Asira, very close to Nablus. His aim was to give something back to society and create a place where broken hearts can heal. We talked about the vision of Daily Hugz, how the COVID-19 pandemic also hit this organization and what kind of daily struggles they face. Maad explained how the work for animal welfare is made more difficult by the fact that, among other things, freedom of movement is restricted by the occupation and therefore sometimes extraordinary or very creative ideas and solutions are needed. We also talked about Maad's future plans and dreams for Daily Hugz. They are currently taking care of around 80 dogs and 10 donkeys, the only place in the whole West Bank who can offer a shelter for that many animals.
