"Lek was spending some time with ThongAe and family, and she spotted FaaMai in the distance, who was on her way to investigate the flooded river.

It is a Choice. What is more winsome to your heart? Choose Sanctuary over Subjugation."

never subjected to the cruelties that the rescued elephants, including her mother, went through. This is Lek singing her a lullaby back in 2014.



And 2016.



She's never too old for Lek to sing her to sleep.
