Thomas Reinhart
from Florida came to the sanctuary in early October and talked to
Pedro, one of our volunteers. Tom had a great time talking to Pedro
and decided to adopt a donkey. He was looking for one in need
and so Pica was chosen. Pica is about 25 years old and several
years ago was hit by a car. Two of his legs were broken, but he
never lay down so he did not die. Pica's legs cannot be
straightened so he stays in a separate corral where he is safe.
It is with great
sadness that we announce the passing of Pica on Friday, October
26, 2007. Pica was having his hooves trimmed and apparently
he became scared and jumped up. When he landed he broke his
front right leg (the one that had been broken before). The vet was
called and came to the Sanctuary. Unfortunately there was nothing
he could do as the bone was through the skin and it was his bad
leg so he was put down.

Tio Mexico
calls the sanctuary
his home from February 2004. He was spotted in the company of a
stallion who had been severely injured and who is walking on two legs
only, using one of his hind legs as a stilt (this donkey we could
catch on May 1st, 2005 His name is Bally). We were only able to
catch Tio Mexico, though. Tio has probably suffered a stroke: the
right side of his face is paralysed.
Tio was adopted by Carol and Ed
Clifford from Belmont NH, USA. They are frequent and enthusiastic
visitors. After they adopted Pica, Ed received Tio Mexico as his
Father’s Day present. Wow!

visit Marja’s sister Jacqueline Boderie. Jacqueline is one of
our volunteers. In order to spend
more time with her sister, Marja came to the sanctuary every
Friday with Jacqueline.
Marja purchased many items from our shop and then decided to
adopt one of our donkeys. She picked Esmeralda as she has
not been adopted by anyone.

Once
again the Sanctuary was very fortunate to have three trainees from
Holland help out at the Sanctuary while they worked on a project.
Vivian, Sharon & Ingrid
were very hard working and really enjoyed all the animals. Just
before they left we received a call about two injured donkeys which we
brought to the Sanctuary. In honor of the three girls they named
one of the donkeys Vishin which is the first two letters of
each of the girls names. Pronounce as Vision (he has a bad eye) We
hope they will enjoy their adoption of this new donkey.

On
November 5, 2005, Eran Swartz will have his Bar Mitzvah.
As part of his
Bar Mitzvah project, which is learning to give or do something special
for
others, Eran has decided to adopt one of our donkeys. He has
come to Aruba
four times and seen many of our wild donkeys. Eran has picked Blackie,
a young donkey also becoming an adult. Blackie broke his leg last
February, is still recovering after spending several months at the veterinarians.

Cathy Vaughn, from the U.S. came to
the Sanctuary. She and her husband have miniature donkeys
at home and wanted to do something for our donkeys.
They could not make up their mind and went
through the volunteer book which has pictures and stories of our
donkeys. She chose Negrita because she is young and very
friendly.
October 29, 2005 - 2007 the adoption is to be continued. Thank
you! |
The Czaplickis from Malaga in Spain
found us on the web and when they came to Aruba stopped at the
Sanctuary.
As a Valentine's gift they decided to adopt a donkey. Unfortunately
both Bastiaan and Kleintje do not live at Sta. Lucia so they chose our
new baby, Sunday.
People from all over the world love our donkeys.

Jean Humphrey recently
bought a six-month sponsorship of Negrita for her
sister-in-law Debbie Wegener of Moline, Illinois. But
Negrita would not co-operate to have her picture taken. Here
is a picture of Jean with Negrita's look-alike, Blackie.
