Kids club is every Saturday morning from 10 to 1.

• A Donkey Sanctuary T-Shirt
• Clothes you don't mind getting muddy
• Appropriate footwear (No flip-flops please!!!)
• A drink - especially in the summer
• A snack for the 11:30 breaktime

Gordon Ramsay with the Kids Club

This picture was taken back in August when Gordon Ramsay came to Nerja to film for his most recent series of Kitchen Nightmares. The programme was based around our Valentines Ball fundraising dinner at La Parra de Burriana Restaurant in Burriana Nerja, the original dinner really was a Kitchen Nightmare so Gordon Ramsay was dispatched to Nerja to sort things out! Gordon spent a long time at the donkey sanctuary, feeding the donkeys, posing for pictures, signing autographs (mostly on the kids t-shirts) and of course filming for the programme.

To: The Nerja Donkey Sanctuary

From: Chloe

Hi! My name is Chloe. I really like the Nerja Donkey Sanctuary. I love all the animals like the dogs, the donkeys, the horses and the cats.

It's really fun feeding the donkeys and stuff. My favourite dog is Sampson. My favourite donkey is Farry and my favourite horse is Silver. The best place to take the dogs is the beach because they like the water.

The sanctuary is also fun because there are a lot of other kids there. Especially on Saturday because on Saturday it's kids club. Anyone can be in kids club. If you just go then you will have fun looking after all the animals but also you have to work as well.

To: The Nerja Donkey Sanctuary

From: Isabella Martin

Hi! My name is Izzy, and I think the Nerja Donkey Sanctuary is really a great place. I love all kinds of animals like horses, donkeys, dogs, and cats, and the donkey sanctuary has all of these.

It's really fun to take all the donkey sanctuary's dogs for long, long walks. My favourite dog is Snowy the puppy. Snowy is nice and wags her tail whenever I come to see her. Mocha, the brown dog, loves to go in the water. He loves to drink the water and play and splash in it. I'm really happy when the dogs get re-homed, but it is also sad because I miss them.

My first time at the sanctuary I got to walk Pinky, the baby donkey. The best place to take the donkeys for a walk is in the river bed because there is so much grass for them to graze on.

The sanctuary is also fun because there are a lot of other kids there, especially on Saturdays. That's when Kids Club meets. Anyone can be in Kids Club. You just show up and have fun!

Izzy.
