Next to her restaurant, Kamini built a drinking well for the animals of San Nicolas. Once a day the donkeys walk past, drink, and many guests stop to watch. Locals say the donkeys know Kamini and thank her in their own way.
Every donkey carries a dark cross on its back. A Christian tradition links it to the donkey that carried Jesus into Jerusalem. We like to see it as a quiet reminder that each of us carries a cross.
