 In honor of Animal day, the Bonaire Animal Shelter (Dierenasiel) last week hosted 47 students and their teachers from the Kolegio San Luis Bertran from Rincon. As you can see from the photo, the children, ages four, five and six, had a very happy time. In fact they stayed for two and a half hours and even had a picnic lunch there. Making it easy for the teachers to tour the children around, each cage had a little sign about the animals. “How many puppies do you see?” “Which do you think have the same mother?” “Which have big ears? Small ears?” “All the animals are vaccinated. Why is that important?” Thanks to Cultimara for donating the juice for the visitors.The next day, still to honor Animal Day, a smaller group of even smaller kids (six months to four years) from a nursery school in Rincon also came to visit the Shelter. According to Shelter Manager Jurrie Mellema they had a great time too. |

Because we are a non-profit organization operating on donations, we have a limited number of staff and usually cannot get to our email as received. We do, however, check it once a week. Please be patient with us; the animals have to come first and we will answer you as soon as we can. |
