ELEFANTEN IN NOT zieht Bilanz

ELEFANTEN IN NOT zieht Bilanz
        DER JAHRESBERICHT 2017 in Bildern
        Wieder einmal ist ein grossartiges und auch rastloses Elefantenjahr vergangen.
        Tausende von Menschen haben meinen Film Where the Elephant Sleeps gesehen, sie sind
        begeistert und betrübt, und sie wollen die Botschaft weiter tragen, die der Film hinterlässt:
        Elefanten gehören in die Freiheit, und nicht unter das Joch der Menschen. Jedoch eine Freiheit, der
        wir ebenfalls Sorge tragen müssen. Einfacher gesagt als getan.
        So haben wir in diesem Jahr den Schwerpunkt auf Aufklärung gelegt.
        Ich danke für Ihre Treue und Unterstützung, und darf das auch im Namen unserer Indischen
        Kollegen ausdrücken, vorallem aber im Namen des Vorstands von Elefanten in Not.
                Mit freundlichen Grüssen,

                    Brigitte Uttar Kornetzky
