With the holidays right around the corner, ’tis the season of giving. And what better way to get into the holiday spirit than to help an animal in need?

One of my favorite wildlife charities that I have supported is called the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya. Founded by Dame Daphne Sheldrick, this elephant and rhinoceros orphanage is dedicated to rescuing and teaching these animals the necessary tools in preparation for re-integration into the wild. Oftentimes, these wildlife orphans have witnessed their mothers being slaughtered at the hands of poachers who want their ivory tusks to sell. The keepers at the Trust are dedicated to giving these creatures round the clock care and attention, even sleeping next to them at night!
