Zamma, the orphaned African elephant

\
From a family friend of ours:

A gifted Zimbabwean, now American based pro photographer, Michael
Bowles (michaeljnbowles.com), is undertaking a small appeal to all
those he knows to ask for any form of a donation to help keep alive a
little African elephant - “Zamma” (as he as been named).

Zamma was found orphaned in the African lower Zambezi valley. Efforts
were made to reintroduce him back into a herd with no luck, as a
result Conservation Lower Zambezi was burdened with looking after him
at a cost of more than US$100 per day for food and a wage for Monday -
a dedicated and devoted young man (shown in the picture below) who
looks after Zamma’s needs and keeps a daily eye on him. The David
Shepard foundation helped setup an elephant orphanage in the Kafue
National Park of Zambia late last year where Zamma is now looked
after, with 3 other orphans. The orphanage is in desparate need of
funds as the entire operation had to be relocated recently due to
heavy rains and floods which destroyed the orginal camp.

Michael is offering a signed 16×20 print of “Zamma with Monday” to
anyone who makes a donation of $100 or more. Image offered attached.
It’s a small but worthwhile effort Michael is making in exchange for a
terrific image he really loves.

If you are able to help, please contact Michael via michaeljnbowles.com.
