Wings for Animals, founded by KLM flight attendants, is dedicated to animal welfare worldwide. The donkeys at the Donkey Sanctuary Rest Ur Ass, located on the grounds of The Lions Foundation in South Africa, were also able to count on their help.
The Leeuw Foundation asked Wings for Animals to help with the necessary vaccinations, as they are currently unavailable in South Africa. Veterinarian Piet Hellemans arranged for the vaccines, with the help of veterinarian Sarah Dekker. Volunteers Annelies and Jeroen then took the vaccines to South Africa. Thanks to their efforts, the vaccines remained refrigerated and at the correct temperature throughout the trip.
But the help doesn’t stop there. Some donkeys require specific medication that isn’t available in South Africa. Wings for Animals is now looking into how to get this medication to the shelter as well.
A wonderful example of what’s possible when animal welfare organizations, veterinarians, and volunteers combine their knowledge, networks, and dedication. 
Stichting Leeuw, The Lions Foundation, and Donkey Sanctuary Rest Ur Ass are incredibly grateful for the help from Wings for Animals, Piet, Sarah, Annelies, and Jeroen!
