We all can learn from the kindness, selflessness and compassionate hearts being displayed by this amazing HERD. They are such a unique group of elephants who, in their own ways, have been hurt, abandoned and eventually accepted by their new family. They each know how it felt to be alone and are now showing the gratitude and maturity of having been saved. They are showing little Phabeni that he is now part of their family. There will be bumps along the way, just like any relationship. However, in the end, Phabeni will eventually see that this is his family and that he is not alone anymore. Thank you Adine and carers for all that you do 🙏❤️

Sooo true, as we saw w/Fenya...God Bless her little spirit and Adine and orphanage caregivers who were sooo loving and patient w/her (she was sooo traumatized + scared for abt a week, but she finally relaxed and began to trusted again, again thx to Adine + team-angels!...Sadly, she did not make it...and she was beautiful... RIP, precious one ✝️ Phabeni will make it...Altho, it took some time for him to pull out of his grief...He is a sweet, tender spirit...I think some of us wondered if he would ever "turn the corner"... Honestly, he rebounded I think when Adine + team started introducing him to the herd (that and enriching his bottles, he too was malnourished... Thank God, not as much as Fenya). After these introductions to Jabu + Lundi, then to Setombe and Klaserie, then the others, Phabeni started to come out of his shell...and he has been thriving ever since! Honestly -- the entire story BEFORE Phabeni came to HERD (Tokwe, feeling the "call of Nature" for another baby, almost kidnapped a wild baby ellie!!! Then soon thereafter, this lady finds an orphaned ellie on her farm, her refusal to allow authorities to put him down + Phabeni's subsequent rescue + arrival at HERD -- it is ALL such a GOD-LOVE-Story!!! We PRAISE You, Father God! You KNEW! Your LOVE, MERCY + GRACE ARE PERFECT!!! HALLELUIAH! 🙌 ❤️ 🙌

Phabeni is very relaxed and confident, which only came about through round-the-clock loving care of his human rescuers meeting his social, medical, and nutritional needs in those critical first few months. It is wonderful they are able to reintegrate him into his adoptive herd so quickly so his traumatic period of loss and isolation was short and he seems to have bounced back quickly! It is lovely to see, but must be nail-biting when the giants are excited because he is so tiny. So much hard work goes on behind the scenes to make this possible. Thank you for sharing these precious scenes up close with all the great explanations and annotations! Well done Adine and dedicated carers and staff.
