I successfully finished the 2005 Elephant Ultrasonography and Veterinary Procedures workshop and returned back on day before yesterday. All the staff of the Riddle’s Elephant Sanctuary with Mr. and Mrs. Riddle and Prof. Dennis Schmitt were very helpful and treated me very well. As our elephant orphanage is going to start an elephant hospital in the Elephant Orphanage, this training and experience that I gained from this workshop is very, very useful. I like to thank the International Elephant Foundation for giving me the opportunity to participate in this workshop by offering the scholarship to me. I like to keep in touch with the IEF in our future work.

Thank you very much.
