January 2019 watercolour by Angela Sheldrick

I am off to Kenya early in the morning so I'm busy getting ready. I thought I would post this watercolour picture of my lovely Karisa an orphan elephant that I am sponsoring. Karisa is cared for by the David Sheldrick Trust in Nairobi and this watercolour was painted by his wife. I can't wait to see the little fellow.

I will try to post some pics while I am away but if things are really too busy, I might wait until I get back.
