Singapore's Elephant Parade

ABBEY: They were gathered at Singapore Botanical Gardens for the last time. And we managed to bid them goodbye for now. They will going to other countries to promote elephant conservation awareness. I got a snap with Mosha - the inspiration of the parade. I also had a last look with Angry-bird, and durian along with other 162 elephants. I'm grateful I had one replica of Mosha from Tangs. Till then, gentle giants.

WILL: Elephant parade, as I said at my post at I Love Mosha is a fund raising activity to raise the Asian Elephants.
      Elephant parade increases the interest people of Singapore due to many activities that can be done in participation of TANGS.
The last stop of this elephants were on Singapore Botanic and I know this is a once a lifetime this 100+ elephants in one place. Hehe. So we headed here! My favorite is the Durian like elephant the cutest? No one beats Mosha.

We Love Mosha

ABBEY: Elephants are flocking at Tangs and other places in Singapore. They are not real though. Those are statues painted with different design to commemorate Elephant parade, an exhibition that promotes elephant conservation awareness. The parade was inspired by Mosha, a baby elephant who lost its foot by stepping into a landmine. It was started by father and son, Marc and Mike Spits when they met Mosha in Thailand. The elephant was able to walk again by the help of an artificial leg.

Tangs took part in the parade through social media by conducting a contest; find Mosha on the web. Luckily I got the 3rd price (a 20-cm replica of Mosha and a 50sgd limited edition Tangs card). My wife was one of who has consolation prize(10sgd Tangs card). The replica is beautiful; beautiful enough to keep than to give :) Just this one.

WILL:  As we celebrate the coming of the biggest figurine show that occurred here in singapore, Tangs made a contest to find Mosha who is lost in their website. 
      
Mosha is the elephant who received the first prosthetic foot and the reason for this fund raising activity. 
       
Back to the contest, I think Abbey and I found her thrice and submitted an entry every time we saw her in different place. Hehe. Abbey won the third price and got the very lovable Mosha replica and a $50 gift card. Me?, lucky enough to be picked and got myself a $10 limited gift card. Thanks Tangs for this contest and for bringing in the Elephant Parade. This is a very great chance for us to mingle with them. :)
