Thankyou for your ongoing support for the project in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Your help leads to the exapnsion and sustainability of this project.
Over the past few months our project with the elephants has excelled.
Our Partner foundation has now introduced a new Elephant, young Male Boon Choo to the herd. He is the grandson of original project elephant Thong Dee.
Unfortunately Thong Dee Passed away in late December of old age. It is amazing we are able to continue her legacy through Boon Choo who is adapting slowly but surely to forest life. He is starting to follow Long May, a young female, and learn from her.
Boon Choo is starting to forage for food himself which is a good sign of progression.
Donations to this project have also helped support five new male elephants and their mahouts.
Our other work continues ethusiastically. Lanaguage lessons continue to empower the community opening the door to opportunities for education,employment and improved communication.
We are continuing to support the community with our eco-bricks. This ongoing project where plastic and other debris is repurposed in the form of eco-bricks ensures plastics and other waste doesn't find it's. The eco bricks can be used in the village.
We thank you again for your support of this project. There is a planned fundraiser to walk to the Mae Chaem happening at the end of February. So keep an eye out for updates!
Thank you,
The Chiang Mai project team.
