The Story

3 weeks ago

Five years ago I met Khun Noom and he owned a trekking camp in Khao Sok. He really wanted to move to a more ethical business model, and give his Elephants a better life. As a foreigner, and as an animal activist, when we met he asked me for help. So over the next two years my children and I would come the 2.5 hour drive from Phuket up to Khao Sok every other week, and do trial tours and advised him to buy land that had a river on it or water, which he did. He moved his two female elephants, Wasana and Si Nin, to the sanctuary where they lived in peace and harmony for the last few years. COVID-19 has brought this sanctuary to its knees. He has no money to pay his mahouts, or food for the Elephants. They have to forage in the jungle and it's just simply not enough. I am raising money to help them get through these difficult times, until tourism can come back. For now there is no assistance and these animals and mahouts are suffering, as well as Noom and his family. Eventually I want to raise money for him to build a big enclosure for the Elephants at night, so that they don't need to be tied in the evenings and to help him fully promote his sanctuary and attract tourists that can help keep these elephants in some level of comfort. Any donation no matter how small is greatly appreciated.
