Free Shipping on Karito Kids Wan Ling from China! Ling is an 11-year-old girl from Shanghai, China, trying to get used to moving to a new city and school. It’s not always easy but Wan Ling loves the reason that they moved to Shanghai – so that her father could work at the Shanghai Zoo as its panda expert, something that Wan Ling would like to do one day.
Like all the Karito Kids, Wan Ling is a 21” poseable play doll with a unique face sculpt that reflects the beauty of her ethnicity. Wan Ling comes with a hard-bound fictional 144-page chapter book that includes a fun 8-page scrapbook done by Ling about her city! (Backpack not included.) Wan Ling is made of phthalate-free vinyl with a torso that is 1/3 vinyl and 2/3 soft 100% cotton filled with polyester fill.
KidsGive™’s mission is to raise global awareness among our youth, teaching them about children around the world and exposing them to the importance of social responsibility and charitable giving.
To meet this mission, KidsGive developed an interesting and unique concept that directly brings the child into the actual process of giving to, and understanding the development of, children’s humanitarian projects around the world. By directly tying together the purchase of the product branded as Karito Kids™ with the support of children’s charities, KidsGive will teach a generation of children at a young age what charitable giving really means.
Determined to identify the ideal first product to align with the KidsGive mission, the founders created a product line that will help children connect with and better understand other children around the world. The initial products are dolls and books, launching with five characters that represent girls around the world – Wan Ling, Lulu, Zoe, Gia and Pita – who come to life through beautifully made 21-inch dolls, fun adventure books and a whole range of interchangeable clothing and accessories.
The 11-year-old girls characterize a modern way of life in each country and culture, providing today’s views of fashion, events, and values that shape each generation and raise global awareness along the way. Through the purchase of each Karito Kids product a percentage of sales will be donated to Plan USA, a worldwide children’s charity. By entering a unique code (found on every product) on the company website, children will be able to select the charitable cause to which the donation will be directed.
A note from Wan Ling:
Moving to a new city can end up being one big adventure for any 11-year-old girl around the world. But I think I got more than my share of excitement. I don’t know why – maybe it’s me and my curiosity, maybe it’s the unusual job my father has, maybe it’s my love for the pandas. What I do know is that I was just trying to fit in after being forced to move to Shanghai with my parents and grandmother – and that’s when the mystery began to unfold!
