Helping Hand - February 22, 2019 complete interview with Leilani Farm Sanctuary

This week on Helping Hand, Leilani Farm Sanctuary of Maui returns. HPR All Things Considered Host Dave Lawrence speaks with Founder and President Laurelee Blanchard. The all-volunteer, nonprofit that provides shelter to hundreds of rescued and sometimes previously abused animals, sometimes saved from slaughter or orphaned after hunters killed their parents, and educates the community on the humane treatment of animals, including educational programs for school groups and special needs visitors, and tours to the general public. You can learn more in the book by our guest, Finding Paradise: Leilani Farm Sanctuary of Maui.
