If we hear stories about orphanages, there is a good chance that our hearts will be pulled. Even though the elephants in the following video have lived happy lives, it is no exception. Orphans from East Africa were abandoned when they were less than 2 years old. Elephants are being k!lled in increasing numbers as the price of ivory increases, and their orphaned babies are left alone and in need of care.
Over 30 years ago, the orphanage was founded in Kenya. The elephant sanctuary is huge, as it needs to be to accommodate these majestic animals. Each elephant has its own room/dormitory. There is also a group bathing area, a dining area, and a playground.
The sanctuary usually has 14 orphans at one time, and they usually spend a few years there before they are reintroduced to the bush. Daphne Sheldrick founded the orphanage and has worked with these animals for more than 50 years. It is truly incredible what Daphne and her crew do for these elephants.
