During the World Championship  Football 2010, Jibe City organized a football pool. Unfortunately nobody won the Jackpot and at Jibe.

What to do with the money? 

Everyone at Jibe decided to give the money to the Animal Shelter Bonaire.

Thanks to everyone at Jibe City for putting money in the football pool and for not winning!

Monique Degenaar of the Animal Shelter Bonaire went on a holiday to her home town in Holland, Voorschoten. She had a beer (or two) in the local pub “Café de Lindeboom“. There she met four of her pretty girlfriends and one handsome guy who is not on the picture (Annemiek zegt: groetjes van Annemiek!). 

 The girls and boy of “De Lindenboom” collected all kind of presents and toys for the dogs and cats of the Animal Shelter Bonaire.

Thanks you and Proost!

The Animal Shelter was flabbergasted and very impressed with the tremendous gift of Hugo, Johanna and their dog Chio from Amsterdam -collars, leather leashes, fine quality collars and leather leashes for cats and dogs- for the shelter to sell in their pet shop.

All the revenus go to the sterilization fund Bonny the Superdog.

Animal Shelter thanks Bonaire Talk Community and especially Kobi

Posted on June 16, 2010 by Marlies in Sponsors & Friends | Comments Off

"Assistant manager" Charlie showing his gratitude to Kobi for the precious medicine.

Kobi Lloyd of Virginia, a frequent Bonaire visitor, recently asked the Bonaire Animal Shelter if there were any pressing needs at the Shelter as she was going to be visiting Bonaire the week of May 17 and  could “mule” down whatever was needed.

Shelter staff told her that they were in need of specific prescription de-worming  medicine for new arrivals but that the cost was quite high. Never one to back away from a challenge, Kobi posted on Bonaire Talk that over $800 was needed to buy the prescription meds for the shelter. The Bonaire Talk community responded overwhelmingly and the money was raised in just a few days and the medicines arrived as promised.

A huge thank you to Kobi and all the generous Bonaire Talkers who have made life better for the Shelter residents.
