Director Louise Hogarth was first inspired to make a film focused on elephants when working on her film, Angels in the Dust, in South Africa. Angels in the Dust is the true story of Marion Cloete and the orphans she cares for. The stories of the children are interwoven with the dramatic parallel saga of the orphaned elephants of Pilanesberg National Park in South Africa.

This is a very short article about a movie that was director Louise Hogarth. She was inspired to make a campaign when she was working on her movie. It is called the OBC. People in OBC make bracelets out of elephant dung, to support the elephants. They also make notebooks out of elephant dung. These bracelets and other items are given to orphanages. The next generation of crafters are going to be paid with bitcoins. This is going to benefit them and the elephants. I think that it is cool that people are being creative, using waste, to support elephants and people. Here, in Thailand, elephant dung notebooks and other items made of waste is actually sold. I find it quite interesting that people are being paid with bit coins. I vaguely know what it is, but it is kind of confusing. My dad talks about bit coins sometimes, but I barely know what's going on. I'm pretty sure I'll know what they really are soon.
