Morning with Pino [and 2 goats]

In 2006, a little mini donkey named Pino Blangiforti came to live at Apifera Farm. This movie was made when he first arrived. In 'Morning with Pino" you'll meet Stella and Iris the goats, hear Pino's love calls, and see the amazing Pino Blangiforti song.

If you like the movie, pass it on, and then donate $1 to Pino's Donkey Dreams venture at donkey-dreams.blogspot.com.

What's DOnkey Dreams? One day, I delivered a fresh homemade pie, with Pino at my side, to a nearby farm. The joy the pie brought, and the donkey, made me realize I could spread more joy by bringing more people to our farm to meet Pino and share fresh pie. I had done animal therapy at nursing homes, and knew the magic of animal hugs and touch.

So we started Donkey Dreams here at Apifera. The goal is very simple: invite people in need of cheer, or respite, or healing, to our farm to share the company of Pino while eating some of my fresh pie. Each year we have one big party for a certain cause or group [this year it's Hospice Caregivers] but we also seek out individuals, children or adults, who are in need of cheer- be it because they are sick, or sad, or just worn out. I really want to work with the elderly, and am seeking relationships with homes hat can work with Donkey Dreams goals.

We also are advocates of helping animals. Katherine's many art slaes help support various animals in need, and she is especially drawn to helping senior animals.
