Move over, Santa! 🎅 This holiday season, a herd of elephants in Thailand’s Ayutthaya province became unlikely ambassadors for COVID-19 safety. Dressed in Santa hats and face masks, the gentle giants traded their usual role of handing out holiday gifts to deliver a timely message: health comes first.
An elementary school revived its annual Christmas tradition with a twist—instead of toys or sweets, students received reusable face masks from the trunks of their festive pachyderm pals. 🐘💚 The initiative aimed to blend holiday cheer with pandemic awareness, reminding kids (and their families) to stay vigilant against COVID-19.
📸 Imagine the scene: kids giggling as elephants—decked out in red-and-white gear—carefully passed masks to tiny outstretched hands. Local teachers praised the event as a fun way to normalize safety measures while preserving cultural traditions. 🌏✨
