One of the highlights of Anitha’s time in Marrakech, Morocco was meeting Susan Machin and getting a tour of Jarjeer—the sanctuary she created for donkeys, mules and horses.
Anitha was thrilled when Susan agreed to be a guest on the podcast.
Susan talks about her journey from being a Barrister in the UK to moving to Morocco. She shares the ups and downs of those first few days, weeks, months of sanctuary life.
Susan also talks about the importance of community involvement and support in order to change the perspective of equines in a country where they are often seen as tools to accomplish tasks, and sadly treated and discarded as such.
An incredible conversation with an incredible woman who has dedicated her life to help sick and injured equines get the care they deserve.

As a thank you to Susan for sharing her story, Anitha donated to Sunshine Animal Refuge in Agadir (SARA). This animal rescue was created in 2013 by Michele Augsburger in response to the dire living conditions of street animals in Morocco. SARA is dedicated to providing animals a happy and healthy life by offering them refuge. To learn more about SARA, check out their website:Sunshine Animal Refuge- Agadir
