Maria Hedegus an American Fine Artist and muralist working with the Elephant Parade as a creative facilitator said “I’m honoured to participate in the Artbox Workshop not only because of Elephant Parade’s wonderful commitment to elephant conservation, but because it also promotes appreciation for the arts – which I am passionate about! I am excited to be part of an event where people will be creating and having fun, as well as raising awareness for this wonderful charity.”

Chef Yves, Head Chef at the Farm Al Barari said “We are proud to be a part of this wonderful initiative to raise awareness about elephant conservation. We at Al Barari continuously support such causes to make the planet a better place.
