TATIANA SHEBELNIK

“Elephants are sacred animals. When I arrived to United States from Belarus in 1994, I brought only one suitcase. One of the things inside was a natural stone elephant that I always believed was sacred and would protect me as long as I carried it. According to Buddhists, white elephants carry special significance. As a long time Rotarian, educator and fashion designer, I truly believe in doing things for a good cause. I believe it is our responsibility to spread the important message across the globe, how crucial it is to save elephants from killing.” – Tatiana Shabelnik (read bio here)

Elephantasia has provided the platform to make a difference for these animals by raising awareness in a critical time.
