Wow - if you like donkeys and the work of The Donkey Sanctuary, you are going to love the following video and photo gallery which take you on a wonderful journey to the world off Lamu, a small island of Kenya where we are helping donkeys.

In April, staff from the Sidmouth-based Donkey Sanctuary worked with project leaders at the Lamu Sanctuary to hold a competition to find the best donkeys owners in Lamu, an island near mainland Kenya.

The Sidmouth-based Donkey Sanctuary celebrated International Day of the Donkey on Saturday 8th May by talking to 350 of its supporters taking part in this year’s Donkey Week about the overseas aspect of its work.

This toddler lives on Lamu, an island off the mainland of Kenya, where we have a small, busy clinic where working donkeys and orphaned foals are helped by our caring staff.

My name is Rob Nichols and I am the Head of the Overseas Department (Developing Countries).

On Friday 4th July, the UK-based Donkey Sanctuary will be holding a special 21st anniversary celebration at its centre on Lamu Island, Kenya, where donkeys are more popular than cars.
