Re: The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
Yep, you are right Lai Pai, you can never have too many
I've got:
Shimba - at Voi
Sities - nursery
Rombo - at Voi
Kithaka - nursey
Maxwell the rhino (well I fostered him for Chris) - nursery
We did have little Pesi but he passed away and we had Chaimu instead - at Ithumba
My mum has:
Dida - at Voi
Naipoki - nursery
and I fostered Kainuk for my boss as a thank you at Christmas
On a sad note, their most recent rescue, Lumo passed away yesterday. So sad

Re: The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
Oh dear that was sad to read first thing this morning, but as they say at least Lumo was not alone in the bush surrounded by predators, but with caring keepers.
RIP little Lumo.
My word Anne-Marie - I had no idea you and your mum had quite so many little eles between you that's just wonderful. Are you going to get in another visit to DSWT this year? We are really hoping to in late December.

Sad to hear Lumo passed away yesterday. I saw a picture and Lumo looked sooooo thin the poor little sweetheart.
RIP Little one.

Re: The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
A wonderful read, I've pre-ordered Dame Daphne's book and can't wait to read it. What an inspiring woman she is, and Pete and I will definitely be going back to the orphanage in December + tins of milk for the little eles.
Thanks for the link WS - that was lovely to read first thing.

Re: The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
The article is wonderful. I can't wait to read the book. I've pre-ordered my copy too! I think I may get through a few tissues reading it!
Lai Pai - can you take some piccies for me when you go, I think it may be a while before I get back there.

Re: The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
For sure Anne-Marie - without a doubt I will be taking many photos.
We're not going until December so before we go remind me who your little eles are in case any have moved from the nursery and I'll be sure to get some photos for you. I hope we can do the private visit mid afternoon and then the late afternoon visit for foster parents
Hoping you'll be able to visit again before too long, but inclined to agree it won't be this year - you'll be a bit busy with your bump

Re: The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
On 9th March, we lost our precious Dida! We were so shocked and sad, even though we knew she wouldn't live to see 'old bones'. Rest in Peace and run safe and free little one!!

Re: The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
Sadly saw this yesterday on FB and thought you should be first Anne-Marie as Dida was one of your little eles.
Tragic news as ever when one of these poor little orphans is taken so early in life. She will be much missed by everyone.
RIP little Dida gone to the great savannah in the sky.

Re: The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
Good news Anne-Marie re Dame Daphne's book, it seems my first order went into the ether and the books are somewhere lost in space so Alex has sent another two, which I'm delighted arrived yesterday. Really looking forward to reading it, the other one is for a b'day present.

Re: The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
Glad you have finally received your book Lai. It is a wonderful, fascinating read. I'm normally a quick reader, however this is a book you just don't want to read quickly. I think I'm on to the last chapter now!

Re: The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

Re: The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
I guess it also helps having visited the orphanage too - I'm just reading the Marsh Pride which I'm loving and then I'm on to this book .

Doogs. He looked so adorable, baby rhinos are very appealing and it is tragic to think of another one lost
