Retirement Home for Elephants

We We went to a sanctuary for old, injured and/or sick elephants. We first changed our clothes before doing various activities and getting up close and personal with the local residents.

We fed them bananas.

Made poopoopaper by boiling the dung to sterilize it then so reading it over screens.

Drying it and then carefully peeling it off.

Ta da!

We prepped the evening feed - some sort of grass chopped up and mixed with vitamin pellets, coarse salt and water.

We also made Tamarand/ginger balls to aid in digestion. Lots of mushing around.

The best part was bathing them.

This one almost knocked me over....

I lost my shoe and had to go back to camp "commando".

This maybe the best thing we did in Thailand. Thank you teacher Ellyn for telling me about it.
