Fundraise

Last winter we had a visit from three very special women, Janet, Pam and Laura. They were three English ladies, who decided to take part in a unique challenge to raise funds for The Donkey Sanctuary. The challenge consisted of a sponsored trek from the Genal Valley to our Sanctuary in Fuente de Piedra. Once they arrived, although tired, they engaged in several routine activities at the sanctuary, spending some time with the donkeys and visiting the village and the lake. You can see them in the picture, enjoying Canela's company.

Last 21st and 22nd of December, with Christmas at our doorstep, two of our donkeys starred in the fundraising event held at "La Verónica" Shopping Centre in Antequera. We are very grateful to "La Verónica's" management for facilitating our stay at their facilities. On those days, everyone doing their Christmas shopping also had the chance to come along, have a chat, stroke our donkeys and get to know the work we do. Many people came over to our stand during those two days to get some information and donate.

Jane Hardwick from The Spanish Kitchen recently presented Celia Rengel, our office manager, with a cheque for €575. This brings the total raised by Jane to a wonderful €1500. In addition to this, we have taken over €1000 for copies of the Spanish receipe book written by Jane (which is on sale in our information centre).
