The Donkey Sanctuary has reopened!

After the obligatory lock-down because of the Corona virus on the island, the Donkey Sanctuary has officially reopened. A visit to the donkeys might be a great idea, combining a learning experience with fun. Of course our volunteers have kept on working during the lock-down, as the donkeys needed to be fed and cared for and the sanctuary needed cleaning on a daily basis as well.

That is one of the reasons why our clean sanctuary is ready to receive you from 9 am until 4 pm.

During your visit there is a number of rules to adhere to:

• * no more than 10 visitors at a time are allowed inside the visitors’ center
• * there should be a distance of 6 feet between persons
• * one visitor at a time is allowed inside our shop
• * please use your bank card – preferably no cash money
• * wash your hands with soap.

All in all standard rules that you will find everywhere. They will keep you safe and relaxed while visiting the sanctuary. Please come and enjoy your time with our lovely animals. There is no entrance fee.

The first Donkey Calendar 2019 was for Angela Tiemens of Fresh FM

As is our tradition, the first Donkey Calendar 2019 is officially given to a famous Aruban on World Animal Day, October 4th. This year it was Angela Tiemens, who is well-known for her radio program `Angela’s Happy Hour’ on Fresh FM. But besides that Angela is very busy with her Facebook account `Lost and Found’. On Lost and Found, pet owners are hopefully be reunited with their lost furry (or non-furry) friends. Angela is a true animal lover and that is why she is a more than worthy recipient of the calendar. She was very pleased indeed to receive the calendar during her live program.
