    This woman is the patron saint of elephants. She cracked the code on how to save milk dependent calves and the world owes her a debt of gratitude.
    Sad to think we lost this angel 2 years ago.

It's many years ago and such a brief meeting but I am glad I had the chance to visit. Not sure if the volunteers actually stayed at the Foundation as part fo thier work was 'awareness' in an educational setting.

    What a wonderful lady! She found her niche and made her charges feel loved and safe. Her keepers are so kind and devoted to their care. It's a shame people think animals are just "throwaways" like some children in this world. They feel, they love, they have nightmares, they get hungry, they get sad. They were created by God as well and are meant to be treated with care. This is so sad, and I'm sorry their champion is gone.

Or are you one of the numerous unreasonable fundamentalist Christian morality police monitoring websites to pass judgement? Mind your business and stop condemning anything,everybody and anyone.are you the perfect specimen yourself?

      va L Those who would buy should also wise up so that they no longer want to participate in the ivory trade. If there is no one to buy the ivory, then the desire of the poachers for easy money will evaporate along with their cash.
      What is wrong with the country of Kenya, don't they understand that once their elephants are gone, they are gone FOREVER.
      The keepers are amazing. There are angels (the care giver people) vs. literal demons (the poachers).
