On Tuesday 13th February, our senior school Environmental Club embarked on a memorable excursion to the Hellenic Donkey Sanctuary in Koropi. This experience proved to be both captivating and enriching for our pupils. As they stepped foot into the sanctuary, they were greeted by a team of volunteers whose profound dedication to the welfare of the 23 resident donkeys was most impressive. St Lawrence College pupils really enjoyed being able to get up close with these adorable and charismatic creatures who simply lapped up all the attention they were given. Many of these animals bear the scars of a traumatic past and yet they enjoyed the care, attention and treats they were given by our Environmental Club members. Seeing this sanctuary firsthand served as a valuable reminder of our shared commitment to animal welfare and conservation.
In a heartwarming display of support, the Environmental Club proudly adopted Vasoula, the oldest donkey at the sanctuary. Welcome to the St Lawrence College community, Vasoula!
