UPDATES - Snow and earthquake emergency: what we have done
Posted on 7 February 2017.Almost 38,000 kilos of food have been delivered as a response to the emergency caused by the tragic mix of extraordinary snowfall and earthquake which hit Central Italy.
A first shipment of nearly 25,000 kilos of food were sent a few days ago on the initiative of The Donkey Sanctuary in collaboration with World Horse Welfare and our Rifugio: last Saturday our supplier Cristiano drove from Cuneo to Abruzzo (750 km) to deliver 19.5 tonne of hay and straw; and yesterday 5,000 more kilos of forage were brought in addition to the Storage Centre in Teramo.
Now, in addition, 13 tons of forage have been delivered and donated thanks to the synergy between Il Rifugio degli Asinelli ONLUS and IHP Italian Horse Protection, with funds kindly given by The Donkey Sanctuary and World Horse Welfare.
With this last shipment, the Emergency Center of Teramo has closed the work table created to manage the urgency. Our aid will move in the Marche region.
A special thanks to our suppliers (Cristiano Casasola of Nord Foraggi and Claudio Ferri of Aziuenda Agricola La Madonnina), who made the transport of hay for free as their own contribution.
