Julia has a new friend. Her name is Piper, and she is from Australia. Julia loves to listen to tales from Sydney, and all about Piper’s adventures, from the book that came with her new friend.
When I asked Julia what she thought of Piper she said, “Piper’s beautiful… I love her hair. Oh, and she looks like our cousin Danielle!”
Mixing an international flair with the joy of giving, Piper and her group of multi-ethnic friends from Karito Kids, also try to open the hearts of girls worldwide by inviting them to donate a percentage of their doll’s retail price to a global children’s charity, Plan USA.
Three percent of the retail price of all Karito Kids dolls help another child—and we got to decide how! Piper came with a special code allowing us to log on to karitokids.com, play great games, earn extra World Change™ and direct our gift to one of four causes: school, home, health or food. Doing this just helped reinforce how important it is for us to spread Jesus’ love by helping others!
Julia has a new friend. But, more importantly, Julia helped children in another part of the world!
