The team at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust rescued a new elephant on September 14th. Baby Sinya had the all-too-common misfortune of falling into a man-made well in the Amboseli region of Kenya. Sadly, she suffered from an overnight attack of hyenas nipping at her trunk before the rescue team could get to her, but they did manage to rescue the tiny babe and bring her back to the safe haven at the trust grounds.
There is a lovely photo-rich article of her rescue story online, including some beautiful photos of her with one of my favorite heroes, Amos. *Yay, Amos! Big hugs, soul brother! I'm so proud and happy to know you are doing this important work.*
After you read her story, please consider becoming a foster parent for little Sinya. She'll be needing food & medical assistance to repair her trunk. The minimum donation is only $50 a year, and the good people and the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust will put it towards helping little Sinya and all the other orphans who have no elephant families--relying solely on the kindness of their human friends.
