My Nonprofit Reviews

I have fostered several orphan elephants in the past few years. I love Sheldrick so much. They have given me a much deeper understanding and love for elephants (especially the silly babies.)I love the stories Dame Daphne used to tell about them and now her daughter Angela tells . Its such a long term commitment they give to each orphan in their care and you can just see the love that the keepers have for their babies. And the babies for them. It just warms my heart to read about each months stories from the keepers. Every time I look at these giant creatures, I have to remind myself that they are just babies that have gone thru one awful trauma or another. Lost their families in many cases, and thru their early traumatic start to life have been rescued and shown so much love, care, comfort and safety from their new family of humans and loving other orphans who understand what they have been thru since they have similar experiences. Such smart and caring animals.

It also is so beautiful the way orphans who have been back to being wild come back to show off their new babies or get care if they are hurt or sick. Or just come back to socialize with the new babies.
