We are delighted to report that we have consulted with the Kerala Chief Wildlife Warden and are going to jointly launch the event on November 2nd and 3rd 2019.
In June we will be hiring an event organizer in Kerala to begin the task of booking a convention center, hotel/ accommodation, catering services, contacting key decision makers, preparing invitation, creating symposium material etc. So much to do, but it's all very exciting! I will be in contact with you closer to time to provide details.
Also, VFAES is proud of partner with Future for Elephants - a German based organization - that has helped us raise $5,000 for this very worthwhile project. We still need to raise at least $7,000 + to meet our target. So, if you're inspired to spread the word and help us raise the balance of the funds we'd be immensely grateful!
On a different note, FYI we've just wrapped up a fantastic Project Asian Elephants 101 youth empowerment program for the Student Police Cadets. It was deeply inspiring to see the support of authorities - the State Police Chief attended the closing ceremony and handed out the certificate of "Elephant Ambassador" to all the attendees.
Please find attached some images from the PAE101 project - a week long experiential learning program that began on the 13th and ended on the 19th of April (inclusive). We arranged catering, bus services, gifts, certificates etc for the SPC who participated and the videos from our events have gone totally viral (attached below)
We'd like to deliver a similar, high calibre program, in relation to the Gentle Giant Summit, and we can do this with your support! Thank YOU so much from the bottom of my heart for your unbending support!! Deeply grateful to you!!
Sincerely,
Sangita
