Gerard Bertens & his friend Pascal vd Giessen visited the Sanctuary. Gerard's birthday is in August and instead of receiving a birthday present decided to give one to the Sanctuary by adopting one of our donkeys. Boem Boem made them feel very welcome and paid a lot of attention to them. They adopted him as he was such a sweetheart.
Rachelle Winterdal read about adopting donkeys in the newspapers. Her friend Sandra Croes had adopted a donkey so Rachelle decided she want to do it also. Rachelle lives in San Nicolas and that is where Truffles comes from, so she chose her.
Sanne, one of volunteers who is on the island for a year with the marines, adopted Thunder (Donder in Dutch) for her new born niece Julia Sophie van der Groef. Again an adoption is always a nice gift.
Marta Fanroma from Aruba saw the newspaper article about Pepsi and felt very bad for him. She decided to adopt him to help pay some of the medical bills.
Jose Palomino, who changed places with his wife as a volunteer, has decided to adopt Negrita. This was a very logical choice as he was on duty May 29th when Negrita into the world. It is very nice to have such enthousiastic volunteers!
