Allocation of funds

<p> The book, published in India, costs 750 Indian Rupees (10 Euros) and the cost of postage is 1,000 Rupees (13.5 Euros) per book.  To send 100 book costs Euros 2,350.  But, our young African elephant lovers, can't afford a book that has been written for them. </p> <p>  </p> <p> If you love elephants (the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant and the Asian elephant) and you think these species must be preserved for the future generations, then young Africans must also love them.  Without their care and understanding, there is no more place for elephants in Africa. </p> <p>  </p> <p> See below the "Message to you" painted by Wanalee, a female Asian elephant.  This message is the mystery of the elephants' intelligence.  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Beyond-1446046065" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/245582/beyond-1446046065.jpg"></p>
