The Elmar (Aruba's Electric Company) runs a summer camp and this year 50 children participated.  They decided to give a donation of 300 Florins to the Sanctuary.  This was enough for them to adopt a donkey for a year.
 They chose Sparkle our newest baby who was born in July.

Brenda & Sarah Puryear are from Connecticut and are Animal Rights activists.  They believe the donkeys should be treated humanly and deserve good care.  They stayed at the Sanctuary for a long time and decided to help by adopting Blackie, a donkey who came to us in 2005 after he had been hit by a car and had a broken leg.  They also decided to become a Friend of the donkeys by sponsoring Watty our oldest donkey.

Arlene and Rod Lema who adopted Pica, had to chose a new donkey. Pica died last October when he broke is bad leg again.

They choose the future leader of the group Bono! Even though he is only 7 months old. It looks like he is already in charge.
