July 12th
Another beautiful morning greeted the orphans as they congregated outside the stockades. Playtime was the order of the day for all the youngsters who charged around happily. Since Kilaguni’s departure Kibo has turned to Tumaren for friendship and boisterous games. Suguta and Olare spend every moment watching over their precious little “baby” Sities who ran towards Makireti in an effort to cheer her up. Mutara went over to greet Maxwell and much to his delight reached in to his stockade stroking him with her trunk. Kalama tried to climb on the bench where foster parents sit to in an attempt to reach some green leaves above her head. Suguta saw what she was doing and came to her aid, reaching up and breaking a branch off for the youngsters to share.
