Xavi shared, in his writing, with Wildlife SOS,
“NO ANIMAL SHOULD BE A SLAVE. I felt like my brain didn’t work but now I know it works to help all the elephants. I love elephants and I have been learning about Raju the crying elephant at school. It made me feel sad watching how he was treated. I am so happy that Raju is now in a happy place being looked after by kind people at Wildlife SOS”
