[@melissaporter885]

What a sweet, happy little girl. Can't wait to celebrate her 5th birthday!

[@GeneralGoji]

I still remember seeing her all those years ago, from her arrival, from meeting Jabu, to finally leaving the orphanage. Happy birthday Khanyisa, live long and well friend.

[@desireeanne916]

Wonderful in seeing Kanysa again-thanks for her ongoing memories and keeping her present in our lives❤

[@judithhombsch1535]

Full of energy. Such a character into everything. Now she is older she has matured alot with her unique personality. To me as she got older her skin doesn't look as pink. Such a darling 💖 ❤😍

[@Dnvr8083]

Isn't the only reason she doesn't look so pink these days, because of living with the herd and being active every day in the bush, there is much more dirt on her skin than when she was only in the orphanage as a baby? During every big bath in the waterhole, you can see that she is still pink.💟🐘😀

[@aliciamartin2024]

Thank you so much for the look back!!!!! ❤

[@EileenGoehring-lb8hy]

Khanysia is a miracle Ellie, so lucky to have found ,The Herd, thanks Adina 🤗🐘❤️

She even gave Adine a few blasts of wind to cool her down! 💨💨 How kind and considerate eh? 🤭😉 The years have just flown past. Thanks for these precious Meisiekind Memories 💞🐘💞🥰👍🙏🏻
