Thank you for all your warm responses to keep Jungla alive. Did you know Jungla provides a great educational service to the community where you can always bring your family and friends to interact with, and learn about, the native wildlife, and to the countless schools throughout Panama which love to come to Jungla for field trips?  Jungla has just received the highest awards ever given from the Handicap Foundation of Panama for our excellents in Animal Therapy and Riding Therapy which help hundreds of handicapped children throughout Panama.  These handicapped children travel up to seven hours on a bus for their therapy, do not complain and are so happy to interact with the animals when they get here.  Many of the children will not reach for that pencil but they will surely open their fingers for the first time ever to reach out and pat Tuci the Toucan, or Dr. Awesome, one of the Bunnies, or hold Nubia's newborn baby goat in their lap.  Their laughter and smiles bring tears to their parents' and teachers' eyes as they watch in amazement.  They love being lifted from their wheelchairs to ride on Dorado the Horse, balancing themselves, mostly on their own, for the first time in their lives while screaming with laughter.  Jungla does not just change the lives of rescued animals, it also changes the lives of the hundreds of handicapped children who would normally never get the chance to discover their true abilities.

 

This is why I am still willing to stand and fight for Jungla to stay alive with your help. Here is an outline of what we need, that you asked me to send to you:

 

1.  Dorado the Horse -  one bag of horse grain per week, fresh cut grass and / or hay, suitable horse treats such as fruits and vegetables.

 

2.  Goats, Luna, Nubia, Calypso, Floyd and Elvis - one bag of cow food per week, fresh cut grass, vegetation cuttings, fruits and vegetables, everything eatable except the kitchen sink.

 

3.  Rabbits, Dr. Awesome and his mates - one bag of bunny food per week, fruits and vegetables.

 

4.  Turtles -  small container of  basic turtle food per week,

 

5.  Duck, Goose and Chickens - one medium sized chicken grain and corn per week.

 

6.  Casey, the Red Macaw, Touci and Tamali the Toucans and their friends - bananas, papayas, water melons, canteloupe, raisins, cranberries, green beans, sunflower seeds (no salt), corn on the cob, live grasshoppers and crickets.

 

7.  Monkeys, Daisy, Roquita, Manchita and friends - bananas, papayas, melons, cooked chicken, rice, beans, assorted vegetables, corn on the cob, live scorpions, crickets and spiders.

 

8.  Dogs - one bag of Asclan per week,

 

9.  Cats - one bag of cat food per week.

 

10. Snakes, Brawli, Balli and friends - four live baby chicks every two weeks.

 

I would also like to lease the Restaurant with the attached Apartment on a long-term basis, and also the private Casita.
