Elehathi

art. I called my grandmother in despair, hoping for some inspiration. She started speaking of her childhood in Kenya, and spoke so warmly about her faint memories of the elephants. As I sat in the living room pleased with my work, I told my mother, “How funny would it be to see people walking around with this print on their T-shirts?”. I used to have a blog I liked updating back then and so I had photoshopped the file, removing the white background, and refining the print. Surprisingly enough, my mother took my file and she sent it to a local printing company. Guess who wore it to school the next day? The response was overwhelming from my classmates, friends and family. It started off with one elephant. And now there are 18. As I have multiplied the designs, I wish to multiply the business. I wish to multiply the amount of elephants I can help. I wish to multiply the love I can spread one T-shirt at a time. I know I can’t end the poaching of elephants in one day. But each and every effort counts. You can change an elephants life. You can do it. One T-shirt at a time. Yes, it does take time, but what doesn’t take time? Take 5 minutes out of your day and do something good. It’s simple. It is not as complicated as it sounds. Be part of the change. Be part of something small. Be part of something big. Just be a part and I can assure you, you will want to do more.
