Donkey business

 A visit to the weekly cattle market in Kosti featured in this weekend’s programme. Together with one of the social workers, Frank orientated himself on the different kinds of donkeys. He was explained that there a many different kinds of Sudanese donkeys and not all of them would be suitable for the DonKIT project. After the necessary talking, negotiating, laughing, stroking (the donkey) and riding, they had gathered enough information to nearly become ‘donkey experts’ themselves. But besides donkeys there were plenty of other animals to admire: a beautiful horse (without teeth), cows, chicken (hanging upside-down on a truck) and many more. An interesting visit indeed!
