I am not one to miss anything and keep my eyes and ears peeled online and off and back in August my ears had zoomed in on a conversation in a bar in France about an elephant sanctuary being built not too far from where I live. Being a fan of elephants I did a bit of internet research and tracked it to Elephant Haven. On reading their website and what their goal I was I was pretty sure that their principles would fit those of one of my UK clients Pink Chillies. When I read this article in one of my local English speaking magazines it was time to bring it to the attention of Pink Chillies. Pink Chillies Director, Suzanne Till responded very quickly and emailed Sofie Goetghebeur at Elephant Haven.
Pink Chillies produces and sells beautiful plush elephant toys across the UK and Europe and many have been known to find new homes in the US to ardent elephant lovers. Each of the Pink Chillies characters is assigned to a charity. So every time an elephant is sold awareness is created and shared. Plus Pink Chillies donates 10% of their profits to those charities. The newest character to join the Pink Chillies family is Da Hong and has been assigned to the Elephant Haven. So each Da Hong sale will create awareness.
Now the Elephant Haven is set to build the first and only sanctuary here in France for retired elephants and needs to raise a substantial amount of money to build the sanctuary.
There are a number of ways you can help:
It wasn't until I started working with Pink Chillies that I realised just how much I adored elephants. Every day I read content that has helped me open my eyes to their plight. I cannot imagine a world without these gentle giants. To learn that Elephant Haven have settled on building their sanctuary here in France, no more than a couple of hours drive from me, was music to my ears. I don't have much on my bucket list in life, to be able to see and touch an elephant is definitely on there. So just call me Nellie as I might just find myself packing up my trunk and moving closer to them.
So please do your bit and help give a retiring elephant a home.
