Stirring Experience

A week spent with elephants, once brutalised but far from hardened, at the Elephant Nature Park
can be a humbling experience. Upon entering the park, I was greeted by the low, soft rumbling of the
elephants, and it was mesmerising. Used as a form of communication between elephants, the rumblings
and trumpeting are sounds that people all over the world have come to associate with the elephants.

The Elephant Nature Park, just north of Chiang Mai, Thailand, is a unique sanctuary in Mae Taeng
Valley. It is home to 36 elephants, volunteers and staff. The park is surrounded by hills, lush greenery,
a slow-moving river and rustic fittings that bring out the serenity and simplicity of the place. Wooden
platforms extending out to the park provide an avenue for volunteers and visitors to have direct
interaction with the elephants during feeding time.

The sanctuary was opened by Sangduan Chailert, otherwise known as Lek, in 1996. As a child
growing up in a hill tribe, Lek had always been driven by her love for elephants. She made it her lifelong
mission to rescue injured and abused elephants. After the Thai government put a stop to the logging
industry, the elephants once involved in logging ended up begging on the streets or performing tricks
for tourists. Witnessing the neglect and mistreatment, lack of nutrition and care, and realising the need
for medical services and a more conducive environment for these elephants, Lek decided to start a
clinic for them. Later, she created the Elephant Nature Park. The park is open every day to visitors and
welcomes volunteers who fill their days with chores, such as bathing, feeding and playing with the
elephants. Lek also encourages mahouts or elephant trainers to come and stay in the park so as to re-
educate them. The mahouts who often use harsh ways of training the elephants are encouraged to treat
elephants more gently.

I too, volunteered my service in December last year and had a great time interacting with these
gentle giants. Volunteers were divided into three groups with each group having to clean, cut and
divide all the fruits and vegetables accordingly each day. We also cut corn or grass for the elephants
to eat at night and cleaned their poop. Another duty that I did was to haul up sand for the injured
elephants. Elephants that are injured will lie down on the sandpit to ease their discomfort. Those that
are very ill are kept close to the medical bay area. The evenings were spent having tea or coffee on the
platforms overlooking the forest. We could observe the behaviours of the elephants and soaked in the

beauty of Mae Tang Valley. Some evenings, there were documentaries about the sufferings of elephants
under training.

It was such an exhilarating experience to see the elephants ripping the branches off the trees and
placing them in their trunks to eat. And every volunteer will return from a stint at Elephant Nature Park
with an awareness for the plight of the elephants. Elephants should not be performing tricks or doing
rides or even painting pictures. They should be doing what they are born to do – to be part of nature out
in the wild.

Having a Hoot of a Time

One day, my husband came home with a little furball the size of an apple. It was a baby owl. My

two young sons, Charles and Clem, and I immediately fell in love. 35

We wanted to do our best to take care of him. I was definitely worried because he wouldn’t eat.

Finally, I thought, ‘What do I like to eat when nothing tastes good?’ Bread and warm milk. 36

This new diet let him know we wanted to help.

Our back porch became the little furball’s home. We kept his food there and that was where he

learnt to fly. 37 Little by little he flew further and further, but he always came back to us.

Rosco was fussy as to who he let hold him. He liked me, my mother and his favourite, Charles.

38

People didn’t believe that Rosco would come to me when I called for him. One morning, Paul, the

man we were working for, wanted to show Rosco off to some of his mates. 39 We were so

proud of him.

After having so much fun that year, we had to move and could not take Rosco with us. 40

However, I have many happy memories of the time we shared with our beloved Rosco.

A So I put a little on a teaspoon and he happily ate it.

B Owls are wild creatures and keeping one in a typical home setting is nearly
impossible.

C He didn’t like Clem too much because he would squeeze Rosco too hard.

D So I called for Rosco and opened the front door and he came flying in and skidded
across the linoleum floor in the living room.

E He flapped his wings and went from one step to the next.

F Rosco is active and hunts during the darkness of night.

G We named the owl Rosco.

H We shed many tears when we left our family owl behind.
