Zoorriffic Birthday
This year, the zoo at the mission will turn 50 years old. Next month, our Dolly, the zoo keeper, will celebrate a birthday as well. For those of you who know our Dolly, you know her love for all things furry. The zoo has a variety of birds and a couple of small crocodiles that she checks in on as well as the rabbits and goats that she enjoys so much.
The zoo is about the size of a nice petting zoo in the states, but it is the only zoo I know of in Haiti. Dolly was gifted 2 animals for the zoo last year for her birthday but with changes in staff and issues with space, she has yet to receive them although the sender waits patiently. We have not given up hope and are dreaming on the best way to make accommodations in the zoo for these new animals.
As Dolly's birthday rolls around, we thought this would be a great time to share of her desire to see the zoo remodeled for its 50th Birthday!
Will you join us? Dolly has $105 saved up from a previous birthday gift as well as money given by members of a team from Ohio, that left an "IMPACT."
