A babywearing doll

Another of Sunnyboy's birthday presents was this adorable African doll which we found in a charity shop. This Mama Doll with apron and baby on back was made by a Zimbabwean mother and originally sold by Batsiranai (a women’s handicraft project that supports mothers with disabled children in Harare, Zimbabwe). “Batsiranai” translates “helping each other”.

    Hey Sunnymama, that doll is very interesting and cute with the real baby clothes. Something I haven't thought about until now.
