elephants! giraffes! oh my!

Have you ever stood taller than a giraffe and admired his eyelashes?? You can in Nairobi! My former housemate from FL, Michelle, led a team to work with us in Kenya. Her team worked with one of our schools in Nchaishi and had way too much fun with the kids and AH staff. They were a great group! At the end of their trip I was able to accompany them to a few fun places in Nairobi where you can get up close and personal to some of Kenya's wildlife.

Mmmm!

You can feed them from your hand...


or even get a little smooch!


This is Michelle :)



The elephant orphanage. Little guys marching down to meet the visitors. Stay in line!

Lots of these orphaned elephants have lost their parents due to poaching or the drought. They are brought to the orphanage and slowly prepared to send back to the wild.
