"Within nature can be found many clues to happiness. One

one will discover a panacea to encounter many human
 problems -- loneliness, self-pity, boredom and resentment, 
to name just a few."  Daphne Sheldrick

"You won't find a better organization 
out there making a bigger difference
 in the lives of orphaned elephants."

It's hard to feel like there are good ways to help end the suffering that so many animals endure. For me, my heart is warmed by knowing a non-profit organization like the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust  is out there, spending its donated funds wisely and making such a wonderful difference in the lives of elephants, rhinos and other animals through its years and years of hands on experience.  I whole heartedly endorse this organization and ask that you put them at the top of your list when you're seeking to donate to a worthy wildlife organization.
