Miranda Kerr Donates $100,000 to Elephant Charity
Caring supermodel Miranda Kerr has donated a jumbo-sized US$100,000 to baby elephants.
The 30-year-old Australian personally handed over the cheque last month to Soraida Salwala, Founder and Secretary General of the Friends of the Asian Elephant (FAE). The donation was made at a hotel Ms Kerr was staying at in Bangkok.
The funds will go to ensuring juveniles at the special hospital in Lampang, Thailand, will remain nourished.
Ms Salwala explains: "We have elephants like baby Naka, who is now one years old. His mother tried to kill him at birth, but we fed him for one year with goat milk to help him grow.
"Miss Miranda Kerr's generous donation of US$100,000 will be for our milk fund. In her honour we have named the fund "Miranda Kerr's Baby Elephants Milk Fund". She is a beautiful and good woman to help elephants.
"When I thanked her, Miss Kerr said she appreciated what my foundation was doing and she was happy to know about FAE and happy to help our good cause."
Since FAE built the world's first elephant hospital in MaeYao National Reserve in 1993 they have treated over 3,900 cases of sick and injured elephants.
Elephants brought to the hospital have often been poorly treated by owners or have suffered horrendous injuries through incidents such as stepping on land mines.
