Nursery Unit  May   19, 2012 It is so wonderful and beautiful to observe how the Orphans care for one another, the older ones teaching the young ones how to do some of the things that they need to know in their daily lives. Since it was a sunny day, almost all the Elephants enjoyed a mudbath after their noon milk feed, Barsilinga and Balguda walking along the line of visitors, while Kithaka watched the antics of his peers with interest before moving alongside Tano, who was in a small side mudwallow. Kithaka began flapping his ears whereupon Tano sprayed him with mud, at the same time urging him to join her in the small pool in order to take a mudbath himself, which he did, and thoroughly enjoyed, since it was a hot day. It was wonderful to see this interaction and our little Boy having a good time.
