Ellies in watercolour: Treasures from the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

MAGES SUPPLIED by WWW.SHELDRICKWILDLIFETRUST.ORG

We recently visited the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi and felt incredibly moved by the work they’re doing with orphaned elephants. We fell in love with Angela Sheldrick’s watercolours, which are for sale online and contribute to the DSWT orphan project’s funding.
