For our next donation, we will be giving to BLES (Boon Lot Elephant Sanctuary). BLES strives to rescue and protect the elephants of Thailand from abuse and ultimate extinction. They provide a safe home for elephants where they focus on individual survival and growth in numbers. BLES allows elephants to interact in a natural environment that encourages breeding. They are deeply committed their village community and provide jobs and homes to several mahouts and their families. (see their website)
