Heleen Bongers is one of our volunteers who helps us by translating newspaper articles and the newsletter etc. Dutch into English. After translating Muppet's story she decided she had to adopt him.
An adoption is always a nice birthday gift and two members of our Youth Club, Noah and Feyo, decided to do this for their mom, Ada Janssen van Raay. They chose one of babies, Thunder, who was born August 30th, to give to their mom.
Ronald & Bianca Kisjes come to Aruba on a regular bases and when they come they always volunteer at the sanctuary as well. Negrita caught their eye because she is so beautiful and shiny. It was a little bit hard to make a picture with Negrita, she had something else in mind. Thank you very much for your hard work and the adoption of course!
Presley Paris, the son of Eddy and Lisette Paris, is enjoying a ride on Ban Ban. The Paris family allow us to use their property for the Sanctuary and they have also adopted a donkey from the beginning of the sanctuary. The Vice President of the Foundation has written a book called "Kosh Kosh, the Green Donkey From Aruba". To show the Foundation's gratitude for all the Paris family has done for us, the first copy of the book was presented to Presley Paris on Animal Day 2006. Again Thank You Paris Family.
Floortje (9) and Jesper (7) Duijn are the children of one of our volunteers, Margot Bosma. They are going back to Holland after living onAruba for 2 years. They often helped their mother with her volunteer workand saved their own money to adopt a donkey. Their favorite was Cookie, a young donkey born in September of 2008 so they chose her. They will miss helping as well as having their birthday party with the donkeys at the sanctuary.
