Désirée Fiers came with a lot of friends of Rancho Hetjen (Maastricht, the Netherlands). All of them work with horses and they liked it very much. First Desiree choose Black Diamond. After seeing the cast around Santa's leg she fell for him. Santa is in the group now and is using his leg again. Desiree choose to continue to pay for his care. Thank you Desiree....
Robin and Kevin planned long before they arrived on Aruba to pay us a visit AND to adopt a donkey. First they choose Floppy. Only problem was Floppy didn't want to be close to them for the picture. So change of plans: Gismo was more than willing. Here is a nice picture of the three of them. Thank you Robin and Kevin for your understanding donkeys...
Patricia Watt from Toronto Canada brought a visit to our new to build sanctuary at Bringamosa. She came with Lynn and Richard Cole, who also adopted 2 donkeys. Donkey Cesear and The Governess. Patricia made very nice pictures of Bringamosa. We are still waiting for those pictures. Here is another nice picture of Mr Bringamosa himself.
Victoria and Peter Figon visited the sanctuary while on vacation with their mom and dad. It was their first time on Aruba and they enjoyed it very much. Victoria adopted an elephant once and Peter adopted a penguin before. Now they decided to adopt Andrew together....
Inge started the adoption with Catch. After a couple of weeks Catch, by accident, went back into the streets, so after a while Inge changed the adoption into Floppy. Recently we found Catch, who was killed by a car, a year after he walked away. Floppy is a very good replacement with her funny ear.... Thank you for the renewal of the adoption Inge! By the way this is a picture taken in March 2010 when she was still living in the San Nicolaas area
Take Route 4a from the hotels and follow this road for 14 km, pass all the circles/roundabouts until you see a sign for the French Men’s Pass. Make a left turn onto the French Men’s Pass, then 1st left, 2nd right. On that dirt road you will find the Donkey Sanctuary after about 200 meters.
