My Scholarship entry - Responsible Tourism: Support Elephant Sanctuary in Thailand

A 3 year old orphan elephant was rescued after being help captive and losing his mother after a few weeks of being born. He is smaller in size than a normal elephant his age and because of a life of trauma and abuse, he lacks simple skills as placing food in his mouth without constantly dropping it. Only a few weeks at Elephant Nature Park, he found an adoptive mother 'Nanny' that teaches him how to peal a banana and eat it for the first time.
