Model and environmental activist Gisele Bündchen took the time to visit with orphaned wildlife on Friday at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi National Park.
On the organization’s website you can see animals like Orwa the elephant and Solio the Rhino who lost their mothers to poaching.
Bündchen can be seen on the website playing with the rescued baby elephants. The organization said about her visit, “She was entertained by an exuberant mudbath and dust bath session, and was captivated by the individual rescue stories, and the circumstances surrounding their second chance at life, understanding that the orphans in our care represent those fortunate enough to be found and rescued, while sadly many remain not so lucky.”
While it must be heartbreaking to see so many orphaned animals, it must have been a magical experience for Bundchen to see these creatures up close and interact with them. We wonder if she perhaps helped out with a donation to the organization for the care of these animals as well…
