Jorge Bembnowski is from Brazil in South America. While on vacation in Aruba he came to the Sanctuary and fell in love with the donkeys. His love of animals made him decide to adopt Bono.
Glenn & Sandy Olson adopted Roulette last year. They visited the Sanctuary several times this year and picked 7-Up who has only been with us a short time and who is very anemic. 7-Up is a very friendly and loving donkey. Now they have a boy and girl to love. Glenn and Sandy also helped one day when we only had one volunteer working and it was greatly appreciated. We love our adoptive parents.


Hi Donkey friends, I am Simone Hoekstra. I volunteered at the donkey sanctuary during the month October of 2008. The donkeys are adorable. I loved every minute of it and miss them every day. I met so many sweet volunteers who care a lot for the donkeys. I fell in love with a very fuzzy baby with very big ears. Her name is Cookie. She is so sweet! I hope she will grow up good and healthy and will become very old in this donkey paradise... Love Simone.

Lucky & Watty are adopted since March 28, 2004. Lucky is brought back to Bringamosa, our second donkey sanctuary (she is reunited with her son Bastiaan). We do not trust her that much with visitors. She really likes food and fights for it. Like she has ever been hungry since she is with us.

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.
