I get to meet some lovely people and Jenny Mitchell is one such person. I met her through Kate Selley in our veterinary hospital who said "I know you two are just going to get on so well"! So what's the connection between donkeys and seatbelts?

I usually keep my ramblings pretty general, but this time I'd like to tell you about a lady I met last week. I'm in Kenya at the moment, looking at the progress made with the harness since I was here in December last year.

On Monday 13th July from 1.30pm, ten pupils from Sidmouth College will be given their first chance to see their mural painting of Kenya at The Donkey Sanctuary's Box 16 exhibition.

When I retired from my job as a Regional Welfare Officer for The Donkey Sanctuary I was fortunate enough to be invited to become a Trustee for the charity. This new role was to lead to a most exciting trip to Kenya with the CEO David Cook to look at the work the charity does there.

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.

My name is Solomon Onyango and I am the head of development for veterinary services for donkeys and extension services in Kenya. My job is both challenging and fulfilling.
