Found the perfect gift for the kidlet this morning.
He loves his Zoo Tycoon 2 game. In the game the elephants paint at easels. The child is an elephant freak. He loves em. His Auntie is buying him an easel and this morning I found something to put on it Christmas morning. I want it to be the first thing he sees when he wakes up.
I found a website for an elephant sanctuary in Tennessee where there was an elephant named Tarra who painted. On their website I ordered a print of one of her paintings.
I’ve been looking for a charity for him to donate to but wanted something that he’d care about. I think I found it. (Click on the text below to visit their site.)
From the website:
The Elephant Sanctuary exists for two reasons:
To provide a haven for old, sick or needy elephants in a setting of green pastures, old-growth forests, spring-fed ponds and a heated barn for cold winter nights.
To provide education about the crisis facing these social, sensitive, passionately intense, playful, complex, exceedingly intelligent and endangered creatures.
