COMING SOON: Lessons plans for children of all ages
on how to incorporate Sadako and the 1000 Paper
Cranes into an educational endeavour and help raise
Cancer Awareness at the same time!
Here's a video that will help you learn how to fold an
origami crane. How to Fold a Paper Crane
The 1000 Japanese Origami Paper Cranes and Lydia became
linked in my mind during Lydia's last days. As she lay dying on
the banks of the Peace River in Florida, we could watch
beautiful cranes feeding along the canal just below our window.
I immediately thought of the Japanese little girl Sadako who
survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima only to die of AML
several years later. Sadako had attempted to fold 1000 paper
cranes so that her wish for healing could be granted. Sadako
has become the symbol of HOPE for peace at the Peace Park
in Hiroshima Japan. Lydia's classmates at St. Mary's School in
Wooster, and my parents' neighbors, also of Wooster, folded
1000 paper cranes so that Lydia could be a symbol of HOPE
for a cure for childhood cancer.
Won't you join with Lydia's Hope in folding 1,000,000
paper cranes that will be sent to Washington D.C. in
order to ask for increased funding in research for
childhood cancer?
