Last year I learned about a wonderful organization called The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. I started following their efforts 
and knew that I wanted to help. After many months of reviewing all of the baby elephants and rhinos that Madam Daphne and her helpers have rescued I figured out which one I wanted to sponsor as a foster parent. Last August I decided to foster a baby elephant that had been very badly wounded, Murka.
and knew that I wanted to help. After many months of reviewing all of the baby elephants and rhinos that Madam Daphne and her helpers have rescued I figured out which one I wanted to sponsor as a foster parent. Last August I decided to foster a baby elephant that had been very badly wounded, Murka. Murka was found abandoned with a spear lodged in her head. It is suspected her mother was poached. The story and pictures broke my heart and as I read her profile I couldn't stop myself from crying over her suffering. At that point I knew she was the one that I had to sponsor. So for the next 10 years I will get monthly email updates about Murka and all of the other baby orphans at this wonderful place.
When my dad and I go to Kenya and Tanzania next year, one of our stops will be in Nairobi to see the orphans and so that I can meet Murka.
