A very big while back, me went to Schiphol with Berry to go and admire some gorgeous elephant statues that together make up an outdoor exhibit called The Elephant Parade. The Elephant Parade shows two different types of baby elephants, that are decorated by all kind of artists for a good cause. The parade is an initiativ of two Dutch men who visited an elephant hospital in Thailand en where they met the cute little Mosha who had needed a prosthetic leg. ‘WHY would an elephant need that?’ me hear you ask and me will answer that with: ‘Because she stepped on a landmine.’ So for several years now, The Elephant Parade asks your attention for helping the elephants at the hospital. Ofcourse by getting more awereness and by buying cute merchandise. Berry and me went to Schiphol so she could write a story about it. And when we learned the Elephant Parade would march through a mall in Delft last year, me just HAD to go and see them again. Ofcourse this time we went with our sweet elephant friends Richie and Keith and their human Tessa on March 15 2019. (pictures by Berry de Nijs) 
Some of me fave statues me saw at Schiphol on September 18 2018. Me thought they were so cute and sweet! Me know it some details here too, but that okay right.
Ofcourse we went for coffee and something nommy first when we arrived at the mall in Delft. We already saw some of the little statues but we decided to take pictures from one end to the other, so coffee first. While drinking coffee Berry made the little rascals a hat (for Richie) and a scarf (for Keith) in a dreamy purple. No they look handsome? Me sure think they look cool in their white and black cookie scarfs too, but this is something different. Me even dare to say the lil rascals look cute in purple and it suits with grey.
After coffee and nommies we went to search for all the statues. That was so much fun! Me loved seeing some new ones and some familiair ones. Because there were some statues me already saw at Schiphol! It was awesome. Me love elephants so much and it was so great to see this all again. Berry bought a tiny one as a souvenir too, to help the elephants in Thailand.
Also there was an exihibit with wooden statues decorated with plastic waste. They were made by schoolchildren of a local elemantery schools to raise awareness of plastic pollution. It was good to see how the children have been working on their projects.
Me and the elephants had a great day among the elephants of The Elephant Parade. The parade is a worldwide thingy. Please check ElephantParade.com for more details or a Parade near you.
