June - walk-in volunteers

Kai and Gwen joined us just when I had to pick up a large dog food donation. Good helpers and a nice couple! They are from Germany but thay are students in Friesland, in the North of the Netherlands. Very strange to hear German people speaking Dutch ;).

Ceceda in June - US

Veronica and Marcella who joined us for a short while in the beginning of June, both from the USA.

Ceceda in June - 24-30 June

Alma, Lucas and Lauti who joined us at the end of June with their favourite dogs. Maria (who used to be my flat mate in Barcelona donkey's years ago!!) had made sure they brought all kind of goodies from Barcelona and thanks to Alma they behaved quite well ;) (for 16-year olds that is, haha). Lucas is a son of Juan Carlos and he had been here as a 14-year old. ´He was the same, just a lot taller...

May/June in Ceceda

Susana from Bilbao and UK-based Marten who just returned from travelling around the world and just did not want to return to England straight away. He also stayed at the Donkey sanctuary, so the wellies ended up there (we got them back!).




Helpx-ers Denia and Michael gardening - they stayed twice in their little tent in the 'dog-free' zone.

Tiffany and Megan - The Aussie Connection

May 2009 Tiffany and Megan are travelling around the world with their surfboards! They stayed in Spain for a month before their final adventures in India and Sri Lanka. First they went to the Donkey Sanctuary (where they tried to teach the donkeys to read) and then they came to Ceceda where Tufo was their favourite dog - and for the rest they have been working very hard and it has been fun to have them around!

Work in April - 2

We had Barbara from the US arriving, Christina from New Mexico who works at a wolf sanctuary (and thus thought nothing of our "wolves"), and then Andrew (UK) and Katja (Finland).

Lyckle Sterringa in memoriam

My father suddenly passed away on 23 March 2009 at the age of 75. He taught us so much.

Lyckle, vaar-wel.
