JUMBO Koala Shamwari
The GoGo Olive Jumbo range is similar to the original Shamwaris, just a bit bigger and softer! They are perfect for a child to cuddle and tell all their stories too. A lovely gift for a new baby.
GoGo Olive is a nonprofit located just down the road from Kuda Vana Children’s Home in Mutare, Zimbabwe. They employ vulnerable and incarcerated women to knit these beautiful animals, and we love them! Every purchase you make through Kuda Vana’s website benefits women working at GoGo Olive, and children at Kuda Vana!
Please note – the knit sweaters on each item vary in color. Our quantities are limited, and we might not have the animal you are looking for in stock. We will do our best to keep it updated. Please visit www.gogo-olive.com if we don’t have what you are looking for!
FUN FACTS:
A baby Koala is called a Joey and is born blind and earless
Koala Joeys climb into their mother’s pouch straight after birth and live there for around 6 months
Koalas are big eaters, they can eat up to 1kg of eucalyptus leaves a day!
Koalas get their name from the Aboriginal term ‘no drink’. Koalas get almost all their moisture from the leaves they eat so they rarely drink water
Koalas can sleep for up to 18 hours a day!
PRODUCT DETAILS
Approximately 30-45 cm
• Individually named by the lady who knitted it
• Tagged with the name and photo (unless they are still in prison) of the knitter
