#Kao4Australia - January 2020 - as soon as we found out about the horrific bushfires in Australia we have decided to support the worldwide relief - after all we are talking about Kao’s motherland. We started the 10 days fundraiser - all the Kao The Kangaroo: Round 2 Steam profits were donated to the WIRES (NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service Inc.)
