Raising awareness on the plight of ‘Hope’… and her kind….through decorating rhino cookies/biscuits
and talking to the kids while they have fun.
We Love You Hope
Never let go of ‘Hope’..the wind whistles her name
The gentle hush of evening shares in her pain
Courage comes to her in whispers…as healing is blessed by the fading light
Fireflies ghost….. like murmurs of the night
Under a wide African sky softened by twinkling stars
Lazy half moon, Venus and Mars
Earthy scents surround her….sultry on the breeze
Blowing words of encouragement….calming her unease
Her horn cursed head …..still steeped in pride
And a
A heart full of courage….as death she has defied
Butchering deep….for their ill gotten gains
No thought or conscience on inflicting such immeasurable pain
Caught up in the human web of deceit
And still ‘Hope’ has the courage to stand on her feet
The gilt edged horizon of morning offers an extra lifeline
May the aura of harmony over this magical girl and her kind…forever shine
The emptiness of these hateful crimes….amid deathly silence and shimmering heat
‘Hope’ gives us the courage…to take a stance against this corruption, greed and deceit
Breathe HOPE Breathe
You are an inspiration to us all
Where there is life…there is HOPE….
Let us stand as one….let us stand tall
We train those who are wildlife’s first line of defense against poachers and poaching syndicates. During our training operations one group of rangers arrested 81 poachers in 12 days.

How is Hope? I worry she is in too much pain.
Annie, she is in the best hands. Eating well. Take a look at their saving the survivors page
Hope is the hope for her kind. It’s wonderful to see the response to the awful pain she has and is living through. Wonderful poem.
Yes indeed Hope is hope for her kind and for us. She gives us hope that some day poaching and it’s ill result will disappear from our earth. Hope gives us hope that one day we will learn to respect all of nature. Hope melts my heart with love and at the same time breaks my heart to see her in pain and hurt. Breaks my heart to see such disregard for life from poachers. But I am hopeful for the wonderful team that today take care of our HOPE. Be well little Hope -and breath hope to the rest of us.
So beautifully written and we pray for Hope’s full recovery thanks to her amazing medical team.
