Grant Park Neighborhood Association
www.gpna.org
http://www.gpconservancy.org/
Anna has been freely volunteering graphic design and fundraising services to Atlanta's Grant Park Tour of Homes for four consecutive years; producing all of the artwork for marketing materials used to promote the tour including logo, postcards, posters, banners, yard signs, and the tour guidebook. The Grant Park Tour of Homes proceeds benefit the Grant Park Neighborhood Association, which uses the funds to support organizations involved with restoring and enriching Grant Park. Supported organizations include the Golden Age Center at St. Paul United Methodist Church, the Cooperative Pre-school, the Grant Park Conservancy, and the Neighborhood Charter School.
David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
http://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/
Aside from contributing to Atlanta’s local community, Anna also fosters two orphaned elephants in Kenya residing at David Sheldrick's Wildlife Trust - a haven for endangered species such as African elephants and black rhino. The ivory trade caused a great number of the infant elephants need for rescue - having to witness their mother's death at the hands of poachers. Daphne Sheldrick was the first person in the world to successfully hand rear newborn milk dependent African Elephant orphans - and she continues to do this today. All of the Trust’s orphans are eventually re-introduced into the wild - taking their rightful place amongst their wild counterparts.
