Ma hope o kaʻikeʻana i nā hanana elephan i ka nahele,ʻaʻole wau i maopopo e pili ana i koʻu heleʻana i ka huakaʻiʻo Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephant Orphanage ma Nairobi . ʻO nā holoholona i ke pio, ma nā'āina hoʻonui paha, hiki ke hōʻoluʻolu i ka'ōlelo ikiʻana. Akā, e heluhelu wau i ka moʻolelo moʻolelo a Dame Daphne Sheldrick - Love, Life and Elephants , aʻike i ka moʻolelo kupaianaha e pili ana i ka Orphanage ma National Geographic .
Ua manaolana wau no ka maikaʻi, aʻo kaʻoiaʻiʻo maoli,ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. Ināʻoe ma Nairobi , no ka hapalua lā wale nō, a laila e hoʻoikaika e hele i kēia hana kupaianaha. Eʻike i kahi e hele ai i kahi wā e hele ai, pehea e lawe ai i kāuʻele liʻiliʻi pono'ī, a me nāʻike hou aʻe ma lalo nei.
E pili ana i ka Papahana'Opena
Hāpai wale nā keiki elephants i ka waiū o ko lākou makuahine no nā makahikiʻelua o ko lākou ola. No laila, inā ua nalowale ko lākou makuahine, ua hoʻopaʻa paʻaʻia ko lākou hopena. Ke ola nei ka poʻe'elepa i kēia mau lā, ua hoʻolakoʻia nā mea he nui no ko lākou nihoʻelepani, aʻo kekahi kekahi e hakakā me nā mahiʻai e like me ka ho'āʻoʻana o nā pūʻulu e ola i ka hoʻemi mauʻana i nā kumuwaiwai a me ka'āina. Ua hanaʻo Dame Daphne me nā elepani no nā makahiki he 50. Ma o nā ho'āʻo a me nā hemahema, a me ka nui o keʻano pīhoihoi mai ka liloʻana o nā'epani pipi i nā makahiki mua, ua hoʻoholoʻo ia i kekahiʻano lanakila, ma muli o ka pānaʻi pēpē a ke kanaka e kū'ē i ka waiū.
I ka makahiki 1987, ma hope o ka makeʻana o kāna kāne aloha,ʻo David, ua lanakilaʻo Dame Daphne i ka mālamaʻana i ka mea i pepehiʻia i ka hebedomaʻelua a he kanaka i kapaʻiaʻo "Olmeg", aʻo ia lā i waena o nā holoholona hihiu o Tsavo. Hoʻopakeleʻia nā kāpili a me nāʻino'ē aʻe e pili ana i ke kanaka a ua hoʻopakeleʻia nā keiki makuaʻole. I ka makahiki 2012, ua hoʻokumu maikaʻiʻia he 140 mauʻelepani mamo Aferika e nā David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust i hoʻokumuʻia no ka hoʻomanaʻo iā Dāvida, nā mea a pau ma lalo o ka mālama a Dame Daphne Sheldrick me kāna mau kaikamāhineʻo Angela a me Jill.
Hikiʻole i kekahi o nā keiki makuaʻole ke hana, hiki iā lākou ke maʻi, aiʻole e nāwaliwali paha i ka manawa i loaʻa ai a hoʻopakeleʻia lākou. Akā he mea kupaianaha i koe e pili ana i ka mālama o ke kekona e kekahi hui o nā mea i hoʻolaʻaʻia.
Ke hiki aku nā'epani makuaʻole i ke 3 mau makahiki, a hiki iā lākou ke hānai iā lākou iho, ua hoʻololiʻia lākou mai ka hale kamaliʻi mai o Nairobi a hiki i ke kahikiʻo Tsavo. Aia ma Tsavo East kahiʻelua mau kikowaena no nā'ōpiopio i kēia manawa. Maanei e hui ai lāua me ka hui pūʻana me nā elepuni'āhiu i ko lākou holoʻokoʻa, a mālie i ka hoʻololiʻana i ka nahelehele. Hiki ke piʻi i ka makahiki heʻumi no kekahi mau elepani,ʻaʻohe o lākou e holo wikiwiki.
E hele ana i nā hola a me ka mea e manaʻo ai
ʻO ka elephant nursery kahi wale nō i weheʻia i ka lehulehu no hoʻokahi hola i ka lā, ma waena o 11am - 12pm. Heleʻoe ma waena o ke keʻena liʻiliʻi a ma kahi ākea, me kahi kaula kaula a puni. Hele nā'ōpiopio hope loa mai ka ululāʻau e aloha i nā kahu e kū mākaukau me nā hue waiū nui. No nā minuke he 10-15 e hiki iāʻoe ke nānā i kēlā me kēia'āpana'āpana a mālama i kā lākou waiū. Ke hoʻopauʻia, aia ka wai e pāʻani ai a me nā mea mālama i ka hoʻokipa a loaʻa nā huʻi mai. Hiki iāʻoe ke kiʻi i waho a hoʻopili i kekahiʻele e pili kokoke ana i nā kaula, i kekahi manawa e hoʻokuʻu lākou i lalo o nā kaula a pono e hoʻihoʻiʻia e nā mea mālama.
ʻOiaiʻoe e nānā iā lākou e pāʻani ana a kiʻi i nā kiʻi, hoʻolakoʻia kēlā me kēia pēpē i kahi kani. ʻIkeʻoe i keʻano o ko lāua mau makahiki i ka wā i hōʻea ai lākou i kahi keiki hānai, i kahi i hoʻopakeleʻia mai ai iā lāua, a me ka pilikia. ʻO nā kumu kūpono loa no ka hānaiʻana i nā keiki makuaʻole:ʻo nā mākuahine i kāhuʻia, hāʻule i loko o nā pūnāwai, a me nā hakakā a kanaka /'āhiu.
I ka manawa eʻaiʻia ai ka'ōpiopio, alakaʻiʻia lākou i loko o ka ululāʻau, aʻo ka manawa kēia o nā makahiki 2-3. Hiki i kekahi o lākou ke hānai iā lākou iho, a ke hānai nei kekahi i kā lākou mau mālama. He mea maikaʻi loa ka nānāʻana iā lākou e paʻa i kā lākou mau waiū waiu nui i loko o ko lākou mau lālā aʻo ko lākou mau maka me ka hauʻoli i ka hana wikiwikiʻana o nā galani waiū. Eia hou, ua noaʻoe e hoʻopā aku iā lākou inā lākou e hoʻokokoke i nā kaula, a nānā iā lākou e kūkākūkā me ko lākou mau mālama, e kau i kekahi mau lālā o kā lākou mau acacia aloha, a pāʻani me ka hapalua pahu o ka wai a me ka lepo.
Makemakeʻoe i kahi komo pono?
No ka mākaʻikaʻi kūikawā i ka makuaʻole, a ma hope o nā lāʻekolu ma Tsavo East eʻike ai i ka heleʻana o nā keiki makuaʻole, hiki iāʻoe ke lawe i kahi safari me Robert Carr-Hartley (hūnōna kāne a Dame Daphne).
Loaʻa i nā kumukūʻai a me ka hoʻokomo
ʻO ka Elephant Orphanage aia ma loko o Nairobi National Park, aia ma kahi o 10 kms mai ke kūlanakauhale nui o Nairobi. Me nā kaʻahana, e helu i ka lawe 'ana i 45 mau minuke inā noho' oe i ke kikowaena. He 20 mau minuke a ināʻoe e noho ana ma Karen. Ponoʻoe e loaʻa ka kaʻa e hele ai i kēlā me kēia kaʻapa kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa eʻike ai i ka puka e hele ai i ka hōʻailona. Inā loaʻa kāu safari, e noi i kāu mea kelepona e hoʻokomo iā ia ma kāuʻaoʻao i ka manawa āu i Nairobi. Aia nā wahi'ē aʻe o Karen Blixen Museum, ka Giraffe Center a me kahi kūʻai maikaʻi ma Marula Studios ( kahi'ē aʻe ma nā hiʻona nui o Nairobi ).
ʻO ka uku komo wale nōʻo Ksh 500 wale nō (a $ 6). Aia kekahi mau lole a me nā mea hoʻomanaʻo no ke kūʻaiʻana a me ka papa hana hiki iāʻoe ke hoʻokomo i ke keiki makuaʻole no kekahi makahiki, akāʻaʻoleʻoe e hoʻokomoʻia i loko o ka hanaʻana.
Ke kākoʻoʻana i ka Elephant Baby no hoʻokahi makahiki
He mea paʻakikīʻole ka pilikiaʻana i ka wā eʻike aiʻoe i nā keiki makuaʻole, a me ka hoʻolaʻaʻana a me ka hana ikaika no ka poʻe mālama e mālama iā lākou i ka hauʻoli a me ke olakino. ʻO ka hānai iā lākou i nā holaʻekolu a puni ka uaki, e mālama ana iā lākou i ka mahana a me ke pāʻani me lākou, e koi ana i nā hana nui a me nā kālā kālā. No ka $ 50 hiki iāʻoe ke hana i ke keiki makuaʻole, a ke hele pololei nei ke kālā i ka papahana. Loaʻa iāʻoe nā hōʻike kūikawā no kāu keiki makuaʻole ma o ka leka uila, a me ke kope o kona moʻolelo, he palapala hoʻopono, kahi pelo wai o nā keiki makuaʻole, aʻo ka mea nui loa -ʻo kaʻike ua hanaʻoe i kahiʻokoʻa.

Ua lawe au iā Barsilinga i makana no ka Mele Kalikimaka no kaʻu mau keiki (ʻoi aʻe ma mua o ka'īlio!). ʻO ia ke'ōpiopio loa loa i ka manawa o koʻu huakaʻi.
