Item Description

Meet Baby Kamok and give the gift of life!  You will be the proud foster parent of a baby, orphaned elephant at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya, Africa.

Baby Kamok, a new born calf that had apparently walked into Kiparo Boma on Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Laikipia.   The calf was new born, very unstable on her legs, and in search of food and comfort.  The mystery was that no elephants remained in the area. 

On arrival at the Nursery it was clear that her limbs were compromised, with her joints not as strong as they should be, and we think this is the reason her mother and herd had abandoned her as she simply would not have been able to keep up with the herd. The Trust saved her life. You can continue that by fostering Kamok and watching her grow. 

Your adoption will include monthly emails from Kamok's Keepers, describing in beautiful detail how Kamok is doing, who she is playing with and how she is progressing on her track to get reacquainted with her wild counterparts.  An elephant watercolor will also accompany the email each month - drawn by the daughter of the Trust's founder, Angela Sheldrick.

OR choose an elephant of your own choice. Simply go to sheldrickwildlifetrust.org and view the list of orphaned elephants. Perhaps little Kauro, Sirimon or Enkikwe will touch your heart.

Item Special Note

Winning bidder must have an email address. Fostering of Kamok is good for one year, from December, 2013 - December 2014.

Or choose from other baby elephants available for adoption by going to http://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org.
