homeless. They don’t have owners to care for them. Although they may look well,
they are often in poor health and don’t have enough to eat.
One centre in Thailand cares for these elephants. It
gives them a safe and natural living space. When they are at the
centre, they stay in a building but are free to walk around. Students come from
all over the world to help here. The student helpers work with the elephant
keepers. These keepers train the students in caring for the elephants. In the morning,
they go to the forest together and lead the elephants to the centre. They clean
them and give them food. In the afternoon, they take the animals back into the
forest for the night. Helping at the center is interesting and the young people
learn a lot.
