Elephant Orphanage II

Posted by Pied Crow (Nairobi, Kenya) on 2 October 2009 in Animal & Insect.

The elephant with the fringed ears is Nchan. I have "fostered" her as a gift to a family member...The Sheldrick Trust http://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org invites supporters to foster individual orphans as a way of raising funds. It costs $750 a month for the Trust to maintain a single orphan, and some remain with the Trust for up to 10 years before they can be re-integrated into a wild herd.
