Nannas in a residential care home have been knitting woolly elephants to help an international wildlife charity.<\/p>\n
The women at Hazelgrove Court Care Home in Saltburn-by-the-Sea are selling the toys to raise funds for rescued Indian elephants more than 5,000 miles (8,000 km) away.<\/p>\n
Wildlife SOS, which works to rescue, treat and protect wildlife across India, is the latest to benefit from the residents’ knitting skills after the women made monkeys and blankets for rhinos<\/a> in South Africa and jumpers for penguins<\/a> in Australia.<\/p>\n Ellen Else, 95, said: “I am happy that I am still able to help with the knitted elephants we are doing, which will raise money to help these poor elephants.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nannas in a residential care home have been knitting woolly elephants to help an international wildlife charity.
