November 2005, our Vice President received a call that there was a baby donkey abandoned in one of the roois (river bed). Off went Desiree to pick him up in Cashero in her trusty Explorer and took him to her house.  He is approximately one week old and is learning to drink his milk from a bottle.  He sleeps in Desiree's bedroom where he can be dry and warm.  Desiree's father, on vacation from the Nederlands, took one look at the baby and fell in love.  

John & Miel Eldering- Paauw have adopted him and named him Mon Petit.  Love of animals seems to run in Desiree's family as one of her aunts recently also adopted one of our donkeys.
