Woollen Felt Donkey Ref: 0453 These delightful woollen felt donkeys are made by the indigenous women from Chiapas, Mexico. Each donkey is slightly different and they come in a variety of colours. Once you have bought one you will want to own a whole family! They come in two sizes 20cm (8") and 10cm (4") high. As each one is totally handmade the sizes vary slightly. *Not suitable for children under three years. Owing to the length of some fibres young children should be supervised at all times. Size Large - £9.00 Ref:0453A Small - £4.00 Ref: 0453B Quantity:

Knitted Hat Ref: 0447 Varying designs. The hats were made by Josefina in Gualupita within the state of Mexico. Purchasing a hat provides income for her and helps the work of the Donkey Sanctuary and the Elisabeth Svendsen Trust for Children and Donkeys which in essence means the project in Mexico is partially funded and the donkeys in that area provided with the help they need - and the recipient enjoys the comfort of having warm ears!

Onyx Mobile Ref: 0451 With 12 donkeys (onyx colours may vary slightly). These onyx mobiles are made by a small family business headed by Leocadio in the pretty village of Tecali, which is near Puebla in Mexico . The village specialises in crafting onyx and marble which has been carried on through many generations. This mobile of donkeys was created by Leocadio especially for the Donkey Sanctuary. When disturbed, they make a soothing wind-chime noise. Price: £11.50 Quantity:

Wooden Box Ref: 0452 10cm x 6cm x 6cm (4" x 2½" x 2½"). Jacqueline lives in a small village in Cuatepec, Mexico visited by the donkey project team. To make each box, first of all the reed is dyed, each wooden box is then hand made and the reed glued around the box. Each box is slightly different but the design remains similar. To sell the boxes at market is a four hour bus journey. Price: £6.35 Quantity:

Bead Purse Ref: 0471 Varying designs. The purses were made in Solapur, India by the wives of donkey owners. Six months of the year these women work in the brick kilns with their husbands and children where the donkeys are used to carry the bricks to and from the kilns. During the months when it is too hot for the brick kilns to operate, the women have been working sorting rubbish on the local rubbish dump. The Donkey Sanctuary has a clinic which operates in Solapur providing treatment for the donkeys and guiding the donkey owners on how to care for their donkeys to keep them fit and healthy and, to provide an alternative income to rubbish sorting, our Project Manager has set up the womens group who make the purses.
