Cristanna & Richard Cook visited the sanctuary after reading Sonic's story in the news paper. Cristanna works for the Humane Society on the Fiji Islands for 3 months a year..... The adoption continues. Thank you very much!
Friends of our volunteers often show up at the Sanctuary and of course fall in love with the animals. This happened when Chris and Eline Ouwinga, friends of our Friday volunteer Marga Staal, showed up. They live in the Nederlands. Eline had an instant connection with Storm one of our young donkeys who is very friendly.
Judith van Rooijen has been a very enthousiastic volunteer in 2003 - 2004. According to Patrick, her fiancee, she always talks about the Aruban Donkeys. As a birthday gift for Judith they made a trip to Aruba including a visit to Watty and his friends.
The adoption of Watty (1961) is a fact. Watty reminds her of Grandpa who passed away from old age, november 2006.
Hildegard Colina visits the sanctuary often and cares about the work we do. After reading about Diassa in the newspaper, she decided to help us with his medical care and adopted him. Diassa loves being adopted.
The dutch animal rights/protection foundation, Dierenbescherming, has adopted Tio Mexico. We had asked the foundation for a donation and they decided to adopt one of our donkeys. Tio Mexico came to the sanctuary in February 2004. He had a stroke and his fact is partially paralized on one side. However he is a very active donkey and does not allow the other donkeys to push him around.
The adoption started in March 2006 and is to be continued.
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.
If you have a GPS device, navigate to these coordinates: N 12°48.974’ W 069°96.642’ This will bring you to the entrance of the Donkey Sanctuary.
