I adopted my family of 11 orphaned baby elephants and 1 black baby Rhino during 2007 at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Africa. I continue to follow them as they grow and to make a difference in their lives. I am able to support them because of you - my wonderful, loyal Clients. Thank You!
Despite great challenges - most of the orphaned elephants continue to thrive. Sadly - since 2007 - two of my orphans have crossed over the Animal Rainbow Bridge to a better place. I mention these two passings, only to emphasize how important the charity donations are to the lives of these amazing creatures! On-going study and medical care ensure that these beautiful animals are given every opportunity to have long and healthy lives. Charitable support makes this possible and you enable me to give back!
Remembering Kilgoris who passed away
quietly - surrounded by the human
family who loved him.

Remembering Sian who died in the
arms of her keepers.

The rest of my orphans are doing just fine. Chyulu became February’s baby when Kilgoris died in 2007 and Liojuk took Sian’s place as November’s baby in 2010.
The elephants are growing up and every year I’m amazed to watch as they mature. Elephants have incredibly rich and full emotional lives and the bonds they form with their human keepers and their fellow elephants last a life time.
