We received the shocking news this morning that one of our students lost her father in a tragic accident. He was out in the bush close to the Aberdare Mountains and suddenly came across an elephant. The elephant apparently trampled him to death. That is as much as we know at the moment. His body is currently being held at the mortuary while the family makes the preparations for the funeral.
Historically stories of people killed by elephants and other wildlife almost seemed part of everyday life in Kenya. But today? Other than a hippo attack, a number of which seem to happen every year, we don't hear of other animal attacks. What a freak accident!
Our heart goes out to Rebecca at the loss of her father.

Elephants - beautiful but dangerous
