young male and everyone loves him.

Margareth Irausquin
came to visit the sanctuary and felt so sad for Bambi. She
returned and adopted him. Bambi is a very happy but handicapped
donkey born in the beginning of 2006. As soon as he is a little bit
stronger we can try to let him go into the group. |

Upon arriving at the Donkey Sanctuary, Bob
Haag (pictured with Boem Boem) and Kathy Singer of Chattanooga,
TN. USA, who were visiting Kathy's brother and sister-in-law,
the O'Connells, were so impressed with what was being done
for the Donkeys of Aruba they were compelled to process adoption
papers for Boem Boem in the name of Bob's grandson, Cole
Anderson of Hilltown, PA. USA. for a Christmas present. As you
can see from the picture attached, Cole was so very delighted that
words just escaped him.

Jumper
Sassy

Brad Croes and
Ellen Aartsen live on Aruba and wanted to support our
foundation. Both wanted to adopt a donkey and said we could make
the choice of donkeys. Our donkey Sassy is the grandmother of Jolly
Jumper, so this would make a nice couple. Soon, Brad and
Ellen plan to stop by the sanctuary to meet their adopted donkeys and
take some pictures.

Picasso is getting more and more accepted in the group. He used to

tell.

Kristen
Edwards of Delaware, had a very short
visit at the sanctuary as her friends are not animal lovers like she
is. In spite of the short visit she decided she had to adopt one
of our sweet donkeys and picked Cowboy.
Cowboy is the donkey who had a car filter one his leg. We use
the filter as a donation box at the sanctuary.

The sister of
the Foundation's Vice-President, Lillian Panjer- Eldering
was on Aruba for several weeks. As she is always hearing about
our donkeys she decided to adopt one for her family. Her choice
was Kosh Kosh. Kosh Kosh will be a very well known donkey
as a book has been written about him and is available at the Sanctuary
in three different languages.

The Keyclub
of Colegio Arubano has been a great supporter of the Sanctuary for
many years. Their adoptee is Boem Boem. This year
15 members of the Keyclub helped as volunteers at our family day.
Every year on Animal Day they renew their adoption. Thank you
not only for your support but also for all you help on Family Day.
They helped make it a great success.
During all the activities we forgot to
make a picture with the keyclub members. Sorry! |
