Once again the Sanctuary was very fortunate
to have three interns/trainees working with us for about 10 weeks.
Two of the girls, Esmeralda and Ineke, were working on the inbreeding
problem project and the other girl, Kelly, was studying the behavior of
the donkeys in the wild and the donkeys in the Sanctuary to see if there
was a difference in their behavior.
The girls also helped out twice a week at the Sanctuary helping the
volunteers feed, take care of the donkeys and clean up after them.
They worked very hard and are now the proud parents of Watty, our oldest
donkey.

Steve Trigilio
and Frank Reynolds from New Jersey were in Aruba at the end of
November. They paid a visit to the Sanctuary and appreciate all
we do for the Aruba donkeys. They have a close friend, Suzanne
Thompson, who loves animals and have decided to surprise her with
a
Christmas gift by adopting a donkey for her. They have chosen Rason
who came to the Sanctuary in the middle of July. He is a very
sweet young donkey and had not been adopted yet. Rason is happy
to have such caring people adopt him.
December 25, 2005 - 2006.
The adoption is to be continued till 2008. Thank you!

Baccha
will undergo a
name-change: his new name is Freezone. The donkey will be the
mascot of the kids and will be dressed in green and grey from now on.
A filly-sized halter will be custom- made anyway, so why not in the
colors of the baseball team. Freezone’s new favorite sport is, of
course, baseball. Freezone will be adopted by Free Zone Aruba from June
17, 2004-2005.
Another
adoption year until 2007

The family Groot
Antink-Oudesluijs have adopted our newest member Sunday
Dream. In the picture are Jelle, Bo and Sunday! They love the donkeys so much they would like to
foster two in the near future. They have a beautiful place and
as soon as they get fenced in they will be able to have some donkeys
at home.

Mr. & Mrs. Luba and
Frank Delaney are from Florida. They came to the Sanctuary and
fell in love with our donkeys. They decided to adopt three, Negrita,
our baby, Bally and Pica, both are lame and share a
corral. The Delaneys also were extremely generous and
donated three huge bags of carrots and lots and lots of apples.
March 1, 2006 was a very difficult
day for the volunteers of the Sanctuary. Our beloved Bally had
to go to donkey heaven as he was in a great deal of pain and could
no longer stand up. The pain medication was no longer working.
Although he had been with us less than a year he will be missed by
all of us.

Pica
|
| 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.

Our Canadian friends
continue to support the Sanctuary. Barbara Millichamp
enjoys time sharing on Aruba and visited us. She fell in love
with Kromoor (Crooked Ear) and adopted him to make sure he
would be
around next year when she returns.

Recently Ria
Hagen and her husband returned to the Sanctuary and decided to
adopt Ginger. In the past they have donated generously to
the donkeys. Besides Ginger's adoption, they have once again donated
lots of carrots and apples plus a very nice financial donation. Ginger
and all her friends at the Sanctuary will ejoy the very nice gifts
from the Hagens. The adoption runs from August 1, 2004 - 2005.

(energetic) nature.
