Matthew Shapiro is from Alabama. He, his sister Miranda and mother Doris have been volunteering at the Sanctuary every day of their vacation. Last year Miranda adopted the baby donkey named Miranda so this year Matthew picked a donkey to adopt. He chose Kromoor, also known as Crooked Ear, because they have friends with a dog with a crooked ear.
Miranda Mirna was the subject of an adoption article in the Aruba newspapers and Dientjie Loefstok chose to adopt her. Dientjie wanted to support our foundation and was able do to it through our website. We are looking forward to Dientjie to come and make a picture with Mira for this website.
Sonic was profiled in the newspapers and he generated a lot of interest in the Sanctuary. Josy Farro saw the article and called to adopted Sonic. We are waiting for her to make a picture with this friendly but sometimes shy donkey.
Mirjam Silfhout & Michel Dijkman came to Aruba from the Netherlands and paid a visit to the Sanctuary. Mirjam fell in love with Cookie as she bonded immediately with Mirjam. They decided to adopt her. They also support horses and donkeys worldwide through other organizations as well. Cookie was smart to cuddle with Mirjam.
ABC Peuterschool has a summer camp for their students. They came not once but three times to the sanctuary. The children helped feed, clean and take care of the donkeys. They have had such a great time they decided to adopt Negrita one of two black donkeys we have. Thank you kids for all your help this summer.
