Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage

These videos taken in when, I visited in the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage.

Pinnawala, about 90km from Colombo towards Kandy is the home to some 60 or more elephant orphans. A place you will really enjoy and never forget. Most orphans are accustomed to their curious human visitors are harmless.  Started in 1972 the Elephant Orphanage was relocated to at the present site in 1975.

Whatever the cause of this human inflicted death to the elephant maybe, it is quite unacceptable. This facility is called the ‘Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage.' Now the English dictionary defines the word ‘orphanage' as a ‘place where children without parents are cared for and protected.'
