Thank you so much, All Saints’!! I visited the school on the 15th and 16th this week, and spoke to grades pre-K through 4th about Pink Elephant and wildlife conservation. I have to say; the students are really attentive and ask the BEST questions. We had a lot of fun together. It was so inspiring; I can’t wait to start volume 4!
I think it’s important for students to feel that they have the power to make a difference — that they can take their care and concern and effect changes. All Saints’ students, faculty, and staff generously helped us collect over $1000, with all of the proceeds to go towards adopting elephants orphaned by poaching and other man-related causes. I’ve updated the Adventures of Pink Elephant website to show the beautiful babies Tano and Olare adopted thanks to All Saints’. Way to go! These elephants have incredible stories; I actually cried reading about some of them. Elephants have no natural predators in the wild; although lions may attack a sick and dying elephant or a very small baby, for the most part Elephants are not threatened by any other animals, just man. It’s important that we take responsibility for our own actions, something we’re taught from kindergarten. It’s clear the All Saints’ students have never forgotten this.
Here’s part 1 of one of my presentations to All Saints’:
