the start of a new year

Written by

My departure to India is fast approaching–really fast–I leave Jan 18th. I am grateful for your well wishes and support.

It’s time to pack my bags, put the phone on “vacation,” make arrangements to store my vehicle and deliver Java to her Auntie Kate. The two are best friends which makes leaving Java behind more bearable.

Although my plane ticket is round trip, I do not know when I will return. That will depend on how quickly the Care Center Project progresses. Top on the list of priorities are two chain-free elephant corrals, the perimeter fencing and a fresh water well.

Without unforeseen delays we should be operational in a few months!

Carol, you’re doing wonderful and such important work! It’s hard to read about and see the state of elephants on the planet, but your successes bring me a lot of hope. I have a million questions, so I will certainly continue to check in and read your updates. I also hope to see the books and documentaries that come out of your trips. Bon voyage!

It is wonderful that you will again be with your cherished Elephants. Great, too, that you will be onsite for a while, where accomplishing things is so much easier and effective. Bless you for your tenacity and love for Elephants. Have a safe and wonderful trip, Carol.
