Owen Colley believes that helping animals is better than watching TV, so he plans to make small clay koalas to raise money for an Australian wild animal rescue.
Owen, 6, lives in Hingham, Massachusetts. His father Simon Colley is from Australia. When Owen learned about the terrible bushfires there on TV, he came up with a way to give help from the USA. He started an activity — the young artist made clay koalas by hand, and each one is worth at least $50. "People buy them, then we get the money, then we give it to Australia," he said.
