Personal highlights

  1. Orphanage: rescue, rehabilitate and release helples babies from/into the wild 
  2. Elephants: largest terrestrial animals that can get up to 4 meters and 7 tons
  3. Babys: they are so cute and playful, stumbling around and sip fresh mild
  4. Schools: many local schools visit the orphanage for educational reasons
  5. Guardians: they clearly enjoy their job, fooling around with the animals
