Carol is returning to Nepal early next month. One hundred elephants are scheduled to have pedicures; Man Kali and her baby son will be the next recipients of a chain-free yard; and plans will be laid for an elephant retirement home in Sauraha.

But before setting up camp in Nepal, Carol will stop in Bangalore, India, to meet with collaborators of the proposed Bannerghatta Care Center, to learn what progress has been made.

If Menaka has not been lured into the forest by the wild herd AGAIN, she will receive a pedicure along with other available elephants at the Bannerghatta Zoo.

Then Carol flies to Guwahati, India, to provide pedicures for the elephant of the Assam Elephant Foundation. Additionally, a follow up meeting with officials is scheduled regarding the proposed Care Center in Assam.

Next Carol flies to New Delhi, India, to meet again with the fabulous people at Wildlife SOS-India. Pedicures will be provided for the resident elephants and continued foot trimming tutoring for the veterinarians.

Then it will be time to cross the border into Nepal, landing in Kathmandu. If everything goes as planned, the next leg of the trip will be to Bardia, where 17 elephants await pedicures.

While in Bardia chain-free yard locations will be identified. The plan is to have the yards completed by March of next year.

Any assistance you can provide with getting Carol where she needs to be for pedicures and meetings is sincerely appreciated.

Thank you!
