I spent the better part of the weekend having some fun with the images from the Elephant Nature Park I took in February. For those of you who don’t remember that trip, it is a rescue for abused and neglected elephants in Thailand. An absolutely first class program run by all volunteers, under the guidance of the founder Lek. Clicking on the ELEPHANTS banner at the top of the blog will always get you to their site.
ELEPHANT NATURE PARK IN CHIANG MAI THAILAND
I will eventually be offering this as a hardcover book when I get the descriptions all in place. There is very little profit in printing these small run publications, but any profit I will put back into ENF.
My panda book will be published around the same time in early 2009

HELP ME SPONSOR A RESCUED MOONBEAR!
REMINDER THE DEADLINE FOR ALL DONATIONS TO BE RECEIVED IS JANUARY 26, 2009
WHICH ENDS UP ON CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!! ONLY 25 SPONSORSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE!!
CLICK THE MOONBEAR GRAPHIC TO ACCESS THE QUILT SQUARES AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE
Building a close-knit community around a quilt has been an age-old custom in many countries. I am looking forward to the same concept applying to Mission Moonbear as well. Albeit the quilt is not fabric, it will end up being a stunning and affordable poster that anyone can purchase after all the squares are purchased and I assemble the final graphic.
ANY QUESTIONS……PLEASE DON’T HESITATE TO EMAIL ME.
Thank you, my dear friends, for working with me on helping our little moonbear!!!

YIPPIE!!! I finished all 4 cub journal pages today. From here on in I will be able to update the cub’s progress and photos on each of their personal pages. Please let me know if you find images of any of the cubs or stories and I will add them to the pages.
The wonderful images we have so far don’t come to us easily. It takes some real detective work on the part of our panda loving friends and China news sources as well as a lot of snooping around on the internet and Flickr to see who has been to the panda breeding centers with their cameras to gather all these pix
Thank you to everyone who has submitted photos and videos so far of our babies. They make the entire adoptions all the more special to see our panda cubs growing up before our eyes.
On my 2009 trip scheduled back to China, I will take all sorts of pix of our cubs to add as well as the stories that inevitably will go with them!! Future shared adoptions and sponsorships through PROJECT PANDA will have their own pages as well
