Ging Mai -
Ging Mai, Hope and a big splash
April 2002
Ging Mai has been the centre of attention since
his arrival late last year. His wounds have closed and he is in good
health. Soon we hope he will be strong enough to join the herd under the
protection of an ever watchful mother.
Earlier this month he was joined by another
parentless victim. Hope is over nine months old but both infants share
similar background in that they have had to pull through the toughest of
times without the loving care of their mothers. Today they have been out
for a long walk with what they consider their surrogate mother - Lek.
The volunteers have been tending these poor youngsters and helping them
along the long road to recovery.
Ging Mai may feel that the limelight has lost its
sheen but he is delighted to be in the company of another elephant.
Today Hope takes his first swim in the pond.
Did he enjoy it?
