Fourteen Year Old Activist Joins Crew in Thailand


Juliette West, a 14-year-old elephant activist from Los Angeles is about to go on the journey of a lifetime to SE Asia where she will meet and work with famed elephant lady Lek Charlet. Together they will dive into the heart of the issues at the Surin Elephant Roundup, attempt to rescue an elephant or two and conduct outreach with local people and officials.

Juliette will travel with Lek to the brand new 2000 acre elephant sanctuary and into the mountains of Northern Thailand to Lek's original haven where three herds of former working elephants have been reintroduced to a more natural environment.

This journey will be captured on HD video by the RTC crew to share this powerful east-meets-west story with viewers around the world. This project was made possible in part by Juliette herself who has been fund-raising diligently.
