EHEES, Elephant Haven, European elephant sanctuary, is a sanctuary/retirement home for elephants from European zoos and circuses, which answers a legal need and requests from private owners. EHEES is a care center which offers the elephants a place for life and where their natural needs are respected and their diet is appropriate. It enables them to be re-socialized and rehabilitated in a protected environment. This is the true story of Gandhi and Delhi, Asian elephants, our two first retired residents in EHEES, the only elephant sanctuary in Europe. Indeed, in recent years, it has become both appropriate and necessary to create elephant placement centers in Europe. Private elephant owners, animal parks, zoos and other organizations may need a place for their elephant(s) to live. Almost all European countries ban wild animals from circuses, including France, where EHEES is situated. Bringing them back to their country of origin is not always possible. There was no place for housing the elephants in Europe. Retired elephants from zoos and circuses, like Gandhi and Delhi, our 2 first residents, have now a place for life. They, and the future other residents of Elephant Haven, need a lot of attention. Elephant Haven is expanding to be able to offer more elephants a place for life. Informative programmes about elephants and their behavior, in captivity and in the wild, will be organized to have a better understanding of elephants, as well as local fauna and flora. All this encourages a re-connection with nature and with all her creatures, to raise awareness and respect for the environment.

Every day, lives are changed by a single, selfless act - the gift of organ donation. Among those waiting for transplants are 2 groups of people: those who die waiting and those who receive the gift of life. Our work raises awareness of the urgent need for organ and tissue donors while helping recipients who have overcome the impossible to live life to the fullest. These individuals have faced life's greatest challenges; they are advocates for the cause but need resources, education and community. Transplant recipients have a unique opportunity to advocate for organ donation and raise awareness. Physical activity plays a crucial role in the recovery and long-term health of recipients. When recipients compete in world events, they demonstrate to the world what can be achieved through the gift of organ donation. Additionally, our programs provide recipients with community, tools, and resources to address the many challenges they face, leading to an increased quality of life. The WTGF promotes amateur sport amongst recipients, living donors and donor families; promoting the study of transplantation; educating the public and raising awareness of the world shortage of donor organs; sharing new knowledge from biological/clinical studies; promotion of mental and moral improvement for recipients, living donors and donor families; fostering international friendship and relations.

We do this by engaging even more skilled teachers for the primary schools and students who need them the most. Our two-year program is a career in elementary school and in education. It is a community for people who want to contribute to strengthening the future opportunities for all children in Denmark. We work closely with primary schools, vocational colleges, municipalities and foundations. We are independent of political, economic and religious interests and are financed by foundation funds for non-profit purposes. A society where no children and young people are excluded from the communities Teach First Denmark works for a society where all children and young people have the opportunity to develop their full potential, for the benefit of themselves and the community. We mobilize civil society in the belief that positive change is created by engaging and uniting people who want to be something for someone and who want to contribute to the community. We are present where the need is greatest, and we always have the children's interests at the center of what we do. We emphasize building our activities around a broad collaboration, because we are never the whole solution, and because together we can see more nuances and create greater changes.
