The Elephant orphanage is much like an orphanage for children in that it is home to many young elephants that are lost or abandoned by their mothers. At the orphanage, the elephants are fed, nursed and taken care of by the elephant handlers. This project is a rare opportunity for volunteers who are interested in working with elephants. Rustic Volunteer Travel seeks to provide this orphanage with able-bodied volunteers to assist them in providing optimal care for these growing, gentle elephants. Like human children, these nearly-helpless elephants also need love, care and attention.
All volunteer programs start on the first and third Monday of each month.
