The Gambia Horse & Donkey Trust
This is My friend Heather Armstrong, who I have known for several years . You will often see her & her Family in their Gambia Horse & Donkey Gazebo at Hickstead Show Jumping Ground on major event days selling items made in the Gambia to raise funds.
It is wonderful to read her story on how she started a Donkey Sanctuary to care for the welfare of the Horses & Donkey's & has now involved local children in looking after & caring for their animals in a humane way.
I participated in one of her schemes where you can buy a Donkey & under regular supervision the Donkey is placed with a Family who have children.
They are then educated how to take proper care of them, the donkeys work for the Families in the fields & transporting goods to other villages, this way they can farm the land for food & make a small income for their Family.
I named My Donkey Moses & he has become a star in his own right, winning a few rosettes for his owner in competitions held at the sanctury.
I also get regular updates & pictures on how he is progressing, for such a small amount, it is incredible how my gift has changed this Families Life, a blessing to see & any support you can give to the cause would be greatly appreciated.
This is a Charitable run organisation.
Why can Foreign Governments not finance these organisations to help their people build better Lives.
