Arubabank NV adopted Maestro to help us through tough ties. They also became a sponsor. Arubabank Understands! Maestro used to live with his mom in Brasil-Rooi Master, hence his name: Maestro. Although we understand that the Arubabank is thinking of something different when they heard his name.
Elizabeth, Duke & Bryce Kramar adopted Blackie. They want to support us because of the Corono-lock-down. Thank you! Blackie is living with us since 2005. He came in with a broken leg, he had surgery and can do everything a donkey can do. Jump, run, fight (not so often though) and so on. He is a very sweet and gentle guy.
Saskia Besseling reacted on our promotion video with the adoption of Orchid. Orchid comes from the San Nicolaas area and gave birth to a son 2 days after she came to live with us. Her son is Gismo. Thank you Saskia!
Back in 2011 The Vleeming family adopted Primrose, now they chose Bringamosa a.k.a. Smiley as their adoption donkey. They decided to help us out during the Corona crisis....
Ab & Thea Tuinman adopted Maartje, not to be confused by Maartje their daughter who came to Aruba in March and is helping out at the sanctuary as a volunteer for a couple of days a week. How big is the chance that we have a donkey with a Dutch name? Maartje the donkey is BFF with Gerardo, both are the least dominant donkeys we have. They live in a separate area where they have a bigger chance to eat.
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.
