Give a bottle of milk to a baby elephant

The Reteti Elephant Sanctuary is based in northern Kenya and they rescue orphaned and abandoned baby elephants.   They raise them and then - if they are able to - they release the elephants back into the wild, ususally with a herd adjacent to the sanctuary.   

One Christmas socking filler you could give is a bottle of milk for US$10 - the elepants drink 56 bottles a week, so every bottle helps!   

Find out more from the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary.   This is a great gift for elephant lovers - and the elephants!
