A happy herd of elephants headed for Nepal!


I just took delivery of this happy herd of elephants from the Thirst-Pockets team today! They’ll be a wonderful addition to the pile of small toys I’m taking on my upcoming elephant expedition to Bardia in Nepal.

These boys will help put a smile back on the faces of the village children following the dental treatment they will receive from one of the three dentists that are coming with us. Part of our mission to give back to the community through which we will be travelling, these dental checks are a crucial aspect of the local healthcare.

We will also be helping to teach the children that wild elephant are not to be feared. What a great tool these squiggy soft elephant toys will be to help us with that particular aim!

Thanks Thirst Pockets!

Thailand just went high into the 'must visit' category! Oh to have an elephant wondering around on the beach. :D
