Lek Chailert – Elephant Nature Park

I’ve had the privilege of connecting with Lek Chailert – Elephant Nature Park. If there was ever proof that one person can make a difference – then read Lek’s story. Some people understand their personal purpose later in life and some – like Lek – knew when she was just a 5 year old child that her mission in life was to rescue elephants. Lek’s grandfather was a traditional Thai Healer and he instilled in his young granddaughter a profound and abiding love of animals and a deep respect for Nature.

Humanity has been given an amazing gift – unfortunately many of us are Living In A Bubble.
