Today my task is to ask for money.
Not for me but for elephants.
As I have mentioned before - Cate has decided to
participate in a 7 day walk across the Sahara desert in Jordan.
It is part of the 4 Deserts race series
– and yes, there are people even madder than her who do all 4 deserts in one
year.
She will spend 8 to 14 March trudging across the
desert with all her belongings on her
back for 150 miles. The penultimate day is 56 miles.
When she arrives in Petra I will collect the
remains and deposit them in a delicious hotel to try to bring her back to life.
We have been supporting the extraordinary work of
the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
for some time – ever since Cate’s sister in law visited their refuge outside Nairobi.
Coincidentally it turns out that the US Friends
of the Trust are actually located here in Indianapolis.
I won’t try to describe the work they do as I
cannot do it justice but please take a minute to watch a very short video about
the rescue of Ndotto.
If you would like to help baby elephants this
is Cate’s page.
You must be very proud of her, Badger.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great cause.
I'd love to help a baby elephant. Shared on facebook.
