It was the first time, Owen wanted something other than Lego or other for himself. We asked if he had the desire to help, and together we had an idea. We could make some koalas in the clay and to give them in return for donations from friends and families, tell get paid to write Colley.
Owen went straight to work to make a whole lot of little koalas in the clay. Koalaerne he will send to anyone who donates 50 dollars or more to the fires in Australia.
