No words. Without you all in this world right now it would be even darker. PLEASE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING and protecting all our ele's. We need you, they need you. SENDING LOVE. My heros. To all the CARERS, those who sleep with her STILL EVERY NIGHT, feed her, clothed her, etc. you are proof that there is still love in this world in it's purest form, and for that, I believe you all to be the richest people on the planet. May god bless all of you forever. And I must not forget LAMMIE and the ENTIRE HERD. Your love and acceptance can HEAL ANYTHING, and we humans can only learn from your wisdom and what you have to teach us, as you hold the crown when it comes to what this planet needs most. THANK YOU!

Khanyisa is such a special girl. I'm so glad she's with you & the herd. She's come such a long way in her rehabilitation. Beyond the physical, which was of primary concern, her emotional health and well-being has absolutely blossomed. She's now a happy little elephant with a place within the herd. She has so many loving aunties and a surrogate mum or two. She has special human friends and Lammie, her sheep friend. Khanyisa is much loved by everyone who knows her! I'm blessed to be able to watch her growth and progress. Bless everyone who has nurtured this special little girl elephant! We love you Khanyisa and are looking forward to more adventures with you!💕

[@tishadelrocco8669]

Katherine Uribe. Does anyone pay a. Little attention to Lammie. It doesn’t seem so. And that’s terrible.

[@KatherineUribe-1]

@Tisha DelRocco Lammie is a very special creature and is given a loving and important place at the orphanage. Lammie sleeps inside with the little elephants and gets to eat the premium feed given to the young elephants. Baby elephants can go into distress if left alone at night. So, there's a human carer AND Lammie! Lammie is also a herd creature, just like elephants, so she gets much satisfaction from her role as carer and nursemaid. I learned that she's a very special breed of sheep that carries fat stores in their tails. That's why her tail looks like that! And it's very full, indeed! Lammie is well loved and provided for, never fear! 💕🐑🐘💕

[@animalsareloveandhappiness4505]

It isn’t much, yet it the least that I can do from here in Washington State, America. I will always work each day to help you guys get more donations. My prayers of love, healing, joy and greatness be with you often and always. ❤️🙏🏿

This is the fifth organization that I help every month: WWF, the ASPCA who saves animals left behind in floods, or from dog fighting or hoarding-type neglect, Defenders of the Wilderness, and Polar Bears Intl, who works with 4Ocean to clean the oceans. The list is growing, but I just keep wearing last year's clothes! And kudos on quitting smoking! 🏆

Thank you for rescuing these very fortunate elephants! What a lot of loving care you re giving them! I live in Monticello,Iowa and had the privilege of riding on yhe back of an elephant in a saddle. I experienced thid love for a teenage gentle giant. The circus came to our wonderful farm town,so I took my daughter of 15 and my son to ride on the miniature horses and to also get up close standing by the elephant to pet him. I m an animal lover, so the circus employed me to clean up at the close of the circus. We no longer have The Evan s Circis come to our Jonrs County Fairgrounds. I feel saddened as I miss the elephant owner and it s trainer. What a wonderful time we had. We ll never forget the experience of working with the workers and professional trainers. They asked me if I wanted to go with them. I would ve loved to.but mu 30 year old son at the time was and still at 50 is completely disabled and needs my care yet today. I akso care for my daughter, who is 37 years old with 3 sons and without her husband and best friend for 9 years had a terrible domestic abuse home based upheaval. I helped my Son-In-Iaw and her get established in and near my residence. Unfortunely he s waiting arraignment. I d love to fund you but am instead watching my Grandson Braden to see what part in ASACP will do. He is studying at The Ames Iowa Universtu to have an internship as an assitant to a veternarian. He hasn t decided which classification of his choice in what type of animals he wants to be a vetetnarian for yet. He s an honor student and wow! I can t tell him which animals to save. He ll is gentle,exceptionally intelligent and very kind. He comes from a loving and giving family. Myom fed raccoons,badgers and deet by hand along with her ducks,geese,exotic chickens and goats. She taught us to love,care and raise our pets with overbounding love. What a wonderfu l set of parents I had, who were married and stayed together in Christ s love till death did they part.They were our great teachers and were well loved by my Grandchildren. It s my privilege to tell you that he,ll be the best veternarian you ll ever meet. I with my Son-In-Law and my Daughter raised 2 great grandchildren for me. My grandddaughter went to college and has a degree after 4 years as a Psychotherapist with patients in Olympia,Washington. She is like her patents very patient snd givers of college graduates with degrees. They too are professionals in their fields of education. I m proud of my childten and their successes.They re proud American Voting Citizens,who are an asset to our proud American future leaders who will make a difference...

[@taleandclawrock2606]

What a joyous thing, to see the whole herd swimming, and Khanyisa safely sheperded in the shallows having the time of her life, blowing bubbles and flinging herself joyously about, splashing...my life is immeasureably enriched just to see this. Had me in tears a number of times.The way Khanyisa has been cared for would make a very important learning documentary to inform social workers who work with human orphans or foster children. This is love the way a family is meant to be.💜💜💜

I love how all the moms and aunties practically fall over themselves to get to touch, caress and protect the new baby! 🐘 🥰

[@nurseprac.nikki513]

These animals are so beautiful. I hate that there are people out there that would hurt these gentle giants. God Bless your work. ❤️🐘🦍🦧

[@franklix]

[@nascar19fan7]

Wow, talk about an emotional video. Hard to find the words to express how that Little Ellie has turned around it's life with the help of so many truly exceptional people I will call angels. Bless You and Thank You all at HERD and Khanyisa, you now own a piece of my heart.

🥰 thank you

[@michellestratford9753]

I definitely want to pack up my backpack and head to help elephants in Africa now. Thank you so much for this glimpse into their world! Magical💜

[@MangoPM15]

Baby elephant running is the cutest thing in the world!!!

[@jodiandrow702]

She has helped many thousands of people and I’m one of them. I love African Elephants, they are all beautiful and each with a distinct personality it seems. Khanyisa is beyond beautiful she is Gorgeous and a personality to Match that exterior beauty. Wednesday July 12,2023 tomorrow I am making a donation. If everyone that Khanyisa has touched would donate even just $1 it would help these elephant so much. Think about donating if you can. It took me a while with all that’s happen past year and helping my daughter and 4 kids monthly, I can finally donate. It’s not too late to help though! Thank you Adine, Carers, and all the Elephants of the Jubilanie (sp) Heard for all you have given to us.

[@patriciascott8375]

Soo Thankful for all of you wonderful caring kind people who love and nurture these precious elephant's. Helps to restore faith in humanity.

[@jallen3927]

When Lundi allowed Sunshine to nurse I found a huge smile spread across my face. There is still joy and happiness in the world. Thank you for sharing this with us when the world is so sad!

[@leaupton5238]

I am so happy that I found your channel! I had no idea how special elephants are. They are so majestic & graceful & have so much love for one another. Thank you for educating me. I look forward to watching many more videos.

[@hennie77777]

[@MsLilac88]

HERD Elephant Orphanage South Africa I want to see baby elephants 😊

[@carlvlaeminck2171]

Since I first read about Khanyisa, i have been binge watching all the videos about her rehabilitation. Her story touched me so much. Elephants are my favourite animals. I admire the orphanage and all the staff members for their care, love and dedication to these beautiful creatures. It is truly inspiring.

[@dgeorge]

So sweet I adore elephants they are so committed and if they leave one behind it is because they have no choice you can see how much they adore her they are constantly surrounding her to keep her safe

[@MangoPM15]

Someone was with this baby 24/7 for months!!!!

[@veronicaferraro5206]

Her wounds were really bad did not realize until I saw on video...also love when she laid down on Adine. What a special moment!!!

[@daffyduck6582]

She just makes me smile, such a beautiful little soul. They are all so wonderful.

[@ЛилияВасильева-л6э]

Малыш,как ты прекрасен! !!!Божье творение! 💖💖💖💖💖

[@carolyoung3793]

I cry with joy and contentment that she will be safe forever xx

[@edwardpapera8124]

Wow, this is really incredible what were watching. I couldn't believe how sick Khanysia was. Just looking in her eyes told us her whole story and how sick she was. You all did an outstanding job. God Bless to everyone there. Khanysia has spread love an sunshine on all of us. I can't wait to continue to follow her continuing growth.

[@brendamcmanus9438]

Thank heavens for @AdineRoode & the HERD, Hoedspruit Elephant Rehabilitation & Development. Every elephant in the Jabulani Herd is alive because of Adine. She is an amazing woman & business professional. #HERD_Elephants #HerdSouthAfrica #AdineRoode

[@johnlaccohee-joslin4477]

The more i see of human intolarance towards other animals the more angry i get , what was the reason for the mistreatment of such a small elephant to start with, those who inflicted it on thisbcreature should be made to undergo the same sort of treatment until they understand the rules of live and let live, i know that these creatures can cause problems with refguards to farming but that is only because the land was once a place these animals owned? Having had the chance to get to know a full grown male lion i quickly learnt that treated with respect for what and who they are, they quickly become friends and strangly enough for a friendship with humans. Its bad enough that people havevlittle respect for the full grown animals but when they pick on the young, for me they really overstep the mark. This elephant clearly is forming one of those relationships and i am very grateful that there are people who are willing to care and help these wonderful creatures, i thank those involved and know that some where alongnlifes path they will be rewarded.

[@terri241]

I find myself smiling consrantly just watching these magnificent creatures just going about their day. They seem to me have a culture of courtesy, accommodation and tolerance communicated through posture and movement that choreographs their herd life for the good of all. Wherever their spirits go after death, I want to go, too.

[@daydreambeliever6603]

I had forgotten how small she was and how awful her hurts were😢💕💕💕

[@MrTechdeck5]

Thank you to everyone at HERD who dedicates so much time to caring for the elephants. You are true heroes.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Hello Lisa, is this the same Lisa who fostered Khanyisa two days ago? 😃☀️

[@MrTechdeck5]

HERD Elephant Orphanage South Africa - yes

[@missjtlady1064]

Just donated. It’s not a lot but hopefully will be a meal for her or another orphan. I wish I could get on a plane and go see them right now. Hopefully I can help more later on, my husband lost his job so our money is tight but seeing this just melted my heart!

[@The-ii5mj]

The task of getting her thru those horrific wounds was nothing short of everyone's help & a miracle🐘💞✌🇺🇸
