“I’m blessed enough to receive orphan love at the rehabilitation center in Nairobi,” she wrote on her Instagram page on Friday.

Day 1. Kenya. After my breakfast and before theirs, I’m blessed enough to receive orphan love at the rehabilitation center in Nairobi. I am flying off soon to the second camp where these young babies will be transferred to one day. There, they will be cared for until they are ready to be integrated back into the wild.

Day 2. Afternoon mud bath after milking. This is my peace. Absorbing the frequency of these magnificent beings is a gift money cannot buy. And these lives cannot be replaced #stoppoachingnow #dswt #heyjambojambo #handsofftheirelephants
