I visited an elephant orphanage in Nairobi, Kenya. They operate a rescue and release program for orphaned elephants out of the near by safari parks. Elephants can be orphaned for a number of reasons, from poaching to drought to abandonment. It was an amazing place, and apparently I"m not the only one who thinks so! Warner Brothers has made a documentary featuring the orphanage and it comes out April 8th! You can bet I will be the first one in line.

To find out more about the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and how you can help orphaned elephants visit Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. You can support an orphan through their site, which I am very seriously considering doing.
