Book launch The Great Elephant Escape
The Bring the Elephant Home Foundation is pleased to present you the official book launch of The Great Elephant Escape written by Antoinette van de Water, founder of Bring the Elephant Home, and Liesbeth Sluiter, journalist and photographer with a keen interest in environmental issues on Monday 23 March, 2009 from 7:30 to 10:30 pm at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Thailand, Penthouse, Maneeya Center, Ploenchit Road (connected to the BTS Skytrain Chitlom station), Bangkok. Please arrive between 7:00 and 7:30 pm for coffee/tea, the registration, exhibition visiting and to buy the book.
The launch will officially introduce The Great Elephant Escape which describes the liberation of two elephants and their journey with Antoinette and her Thai team to the Elephant Nature Park. It turned out to be a breathtaking adventure through the world of flirtatious elephant traders, poor villagers, well wishing monks, and angry animal rights advocates—towards Elephant Haven on the far horizon. Furthermore, there will be an open discussion on “How to get Thai elephants off the streets” by representatives of various organizations.
Please inform us of your attendance as soon as possible, by e-mail to Khun Dutsadee at dutsadee.nilubol@bring-the-elephant-home.org or call to register at (o89) 554-9980 before March 23, 2009. This book launch is free of charge, but a donation to the organization Bring the Elephant Home would be appreciated.
Copies of the book will be available to purchase on the event for a price of 550 Baht. If you are unable to attend the launch but are interested in purchasing a copy, the book is available in the Elephant Nature Park and in bookstores in Thailand now
