Milagro entre los escombros que dejó el terrible terremoto en Venezuela. Miembros del Cuerpo de Bomberos escucharon un débil quejido y con paciencia, fuerza y mucho corazón, removieron toneladas de escombros hasta dar con él: un pequeño perrito sepultado vivo 🙏
Cuando finalmente lo sacaron a la luz, tembloroso, cubierto de polvo y con la mirada llena de miedo, el cachorro se acurrucó en los brazos de sus salvadores.
Un movimiento de cola y un suave lamido en las manos fueron su forma de decir “gracias por no rendirse”.
Muchas gracias a estos héroes. Todas las vidas son valiosas
Terremoto en Venezuela. Caracas
Inauguramos las nuevas salas de internación pediátrica del Centro Hospitalario Pereira Rossell.
Cada mejora en la infraestructura es mucho más que una obra. Es un lugar más digno para acompañar a niñas, niños y adolescentes durante momentos que no siempre son fáciles. Es también mejores condiciones para los equipos de salud que los cuidan todos los días.
Ver concretados estos avances nos llena de orgullo, porque detrás de cada puerta que se abre hay más calidad de atención, más cercanía y más humanidad.
Seguimos fortaleciendo la salud pública con una convicción clara: poner a las personas en el centro de cada decisión.
En Uruguay 1 de cada 3 niños, niñas y adolescentes ha sufrido violencia sexual. La mayoria antes de los 14 años. La mayoria en su entorno cercano, familiares directos entre otros. La mayoría recurrentes.

A grand celebration of Indian culture in Malaysia!
A highlight of the community programme in Kuala Lumpur was a dance performance which has set a record in Malaysia.
Congratulations to all those who took part in the dance performance.
For 28 years, every milk-dependent orphaned infant Elephant died.
Daphne Sheldrick refused to accept this. From 1954 onward, she and her husband David — the founding warden of Kenya's Tsavo East National Park — raised orphaned Elephants at their home. Older calves could be weaned onto solid food. But newborns needed their mother's milk, and no substitute worked. Cow's milk killed them. Every formula failed.
In 1974, a tiny calf named Aisha arrived. She had fallen down a disused well in Northern Kenya. She was just days old, her trunk still tinged with pink, covered in the soft fuzz of Elephant infancy.
Daphne tried every combination she could find. Finally, she discovered that a European baby formula containing coconut oil was the nearest substitute for the fat in Elephant milk. Aisha survived.
But weeks later, when Daphne left for her daughter's wedding, Aisha stopped eating. She died of grief — she had bonded too closely to one person and couldn't survive the separation.
Daphne learned the hardest lesson: orphaned Elephants need not just milk, but family. They need multiple caregivers who stay with them day and night, mimicking the matriarchal herds they lost.
In 1977, David Sheldrick died of a heart attack at age 57. Daphne founded the @SheldrickTrust in his memory.
In 1979, she wrote: "One last triumph I longed for, was to be able to look with pride on an animal like an Elephant, born of a mother I had nurtured from the start, and think, deep inside my heart, 'But for me......'"
That triumph came. Again and again.
To date, the Trust has rescued over 262 orphaned Elephants and reintegrated more than 160 back into the wild herds of Tsavo. Seventy-eight calves have been born to orphans the Trust raised — wild Elephants who return to the stockades where they grew up to introduce their babies to the human family that saved them.
In 2006, Queen Elizabeth II made Daphne a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire — the first damehood awarded in Kenya since independence in 1963.
Dame Daphne Sheldrick died on April 12, 2018, at age 83. Her daughter Angela now runs the Trust, continuing work that began with a coconut-oil formula and a refusal to give up.
The Elephants born to Daphne's orphans will have calves of their own. Those calves will have calves. Entire dynasties of Elephants now exist because one woman spent 28 years failing until she succeeded — and then spent 44 more years turning that success into a system that could outlive her.
But for her, none of them would be here.

Amboseli’s gentle giant was one of the most photographed elephants in the world and among Africa’s last remaining ‘super tuskers.’ He passed on January 3, 2026
