Gentle hardship
After witnessing the great outpouring of affection from my followers after my previous post featuring this Elephant, I have decided, as Earthweek ends, to take an action that truly springs from the heart.
I have arranged to remotely adopt this magnificent creature and make him part of my extended family. Perhaps this gentle giant, is truly the “Big Brother” I always wanted?
His name is Sebakwe. He is forty years old; an elegant bull elephant and leader of the Jabulani Herd.
I met him on a recent Safari Excursion to Africa
His herd is a group of abandoned and orphaned elephants rescued, rehabilitated, and given a forever home where they all now live together. Every saved creature in this group has their own story of hardship, survival and eventual success.
Please help me to honor the special work of our planet’s animal rescuers, conservationists, and other heroes who seek to better our world, by reposting this message, contacting
www.herd.org.za
to partake in their elephant welfare project, or reaching out to the ecologically-minded organization of your choice.
