Makena is an essay inspired by the story of overcoming, love and pain of a young elephant rescued by wildlife protectors in Kenya when she was just 7 weeks old. She was named after the place where she was found, which in the Kikuyu language means Happy. Her mother was probably hunted down and killed by some ivory smuggler. On September 10, 2021, already in her adult phase, she gave birth to Mumo, a playful little elephant, but who only lived for 14 days. On September 24, 2021, there was only silence in the shelter and only one sound was heard... Makena's cry.
