“I’m Moloair, and I’m a bit of a sensitive girl. You see, even though I’m still really young, I didn’t have the best upbringing, and I have a large hole at the end of my trunk which makes me spill water, and I have a lisp when I trumpet. I don’t like having my trunk touched, so please understand if I seem a little stand-offish when you visit.
It was in 2016 that I was rescued and transported to Maew’s first-ever sanctuary in Surin. I was nervous and distressed, and I cried every day for a long time. My best friend, Nong Pech always tried to comfort me, but I would push her away. I’d never had a friend before. Nong Pech was persistent, and I finally relented; now we have such a special bond which grows stronger every day. Kwan Samui came to us in 2019; she reminded me of me when I was scared and alone, so she was welcomed, and is now part of our girl trio. The three of us are looked after by Sri Nin”.
