For EARS Donkey Sanctuary to review
This page is waiting for EARS Donkey Sanctuary to check it. It is published now so that they can see how it fits with the rest of the site. Until they have approved the text, it may change. Questions for them:
- Is this description of EARS and its work correct? What would you like to change?
- Are the adoption amounts (R100 a month or R1,200 a year) still current?
- Is the list under Offers complete, and is every service on it still running?
- Should readers reach you through the moderators, or would you like a public contact listed?
