Pikkewyntjies / Penguinkidz Pre-School

One of them if we can find a willing owner and a willing donkey is to give them a ride in a donkey cart.  

Does anyone in our Xplorio area know a kindly farmer who has a donkey cart on his farm - it's not a thing one sees very often these days? In fact, one seldom sees donkeys these days which is our loss, according to me.  They are such endearing animals.  

If you do know the owner of a donkey cart, please would you do our children a big favour and ask if she/he is willing to let a large group of very eager and well-behaved children meet the donkey and have a ride in the cart?  

Afterwards, they would be very excited to feed the donkey a carrot or two - if that is allowed and to have a photograph taken of themselves with the donkey.  

Please contact our Principal, Zaan if you can wave a magic wand and produce a donkey cart for the delight of our children. Thank you for your time and care on their behalf.
