Jo Goes Wild

Back in 2000, S Club 7 were sponsored by the World Wildlife Fund and they each had an endangered animal which they flew out to see. They made this into a TV series called 'S Club 7 Go Wild.'

Jo's animal was the endangered Asian Elephant. She chose this as her animal because it had always been her favourite animal since she was a little girl. She got to go out to Thailand where along with Jon and Tina they got to see them.

Here is Jo, Jon and Tina's diary of their 3 days in Thailand!

Day 1

Tina: “We spent today exploring Chiang Mai, which is where we are staying. We all went to a tailor's to get fitted for a traditional Thai outfit. It was great fun, but also really difficult trying to choose from all the different, beautiful materials.”

Jon: “We also went shopping in the Night Bazaar, to buy presents for the rest of the band. There are some great things to spend your money on here.”

Day 2

Jo: “I had my first encounter with some elephants today at a WWF project. Although I was really nervous when I first saw them, they were actually very gentle. I then trekked with another elephant and a guide into the jungle to meet up with a Thai hilltribe. They were such friendly people and made me feel really welcome.”

Day 3

Jo: “We spent today at the Thailand Elephant Conservation Centre and visiting some more of the elephant projects WWF funds. There was a really cute baby elephant that we all fell in love with. He was gorgeous. Elephant's have always been one of my favourite animals and I'm really glad I got to meet some - especially as they are so endangered and in need of our help!”

As well as visiting the Asian Elephants in Thailand, Jo went with Jon to Malaysia to see the Orangutans and with Tina to China in search of the giant panda.
