Hello my dearly friends,
Time is flying since I finished my high
school and here in Spain
it flies even faster.
This Thursday is the day when I am leaving
the Donkey Paradise and heading all way to Catalonia for my next project.
This place was special, it really left a
footprint in my heart.
I learnt and experienced so many things. I
learnt that helping to the one which needs help may change this world into a
better place for everybody. Every morning, we have to lift up three or two
donkeys and support them during whole day. Sometimes, the donkey may fall down
and just stay lying while one of us would notice and come to help. I will never
forget a day when Marleen and Steve were somewhere away and I had to take care
of the donkeys. I was just walking around, everybody seemed happy and satisfied
when I saw Norbert lying down on the grass. Straight away I went and tried to
lift him up but I was too weak to do it on my own. He was looking with such sad
eyes, trying all his best but I couldn’t make it. I tried few times but I still
couldn’t make it.
Then Marleen and Steve came back and
Norbert was happily chewing some wet grass and walking again like nothing
happened.
At that time all alone I couldn’t help him
but three of us could do it.
I learnt that animal is able to love and
forgive. Forget about the wounds made by cruel people in the past.
My first day one of the dogs Lady was so
scared of me that she couldn’t let me even to stroke her. I must admit she was
very curious but very afraid because probably people in the past were beating
her up. It took me 3 or maybe 4 days when I could touch her and now she gives
all her love to me because she learnt how to trust again.
I learnt that life in every step is
accompanied with death. One moment I was feeding donkey Katrina and letting her
sniffing my hand and another moment she was lying down with cold eyes, dead
body and flying soul somewhere far far away.
Donkey Paradise
lets me believe that old and unwanted donkeys can be loved again. That old and
ill can be treated well. I admire Marleen for her courage to fight against
cruel people and rescue these beautiful animals who really are like one of us.
Would you let somebody suffer when you now you can help them?
And now I am back on the road. In front of
me is 5 days hitch-hiking venture. Wish me strong back, good shoes and good
people on my way.
I miss you,
Ligita
