Craft paper cranes for Japan

According to old Japanese traditions, anyone who folds 1,000 paper cranes will be granted a wish. In response to the devastating earthquake and tsunami, DoSomething.org is sponsoring a Paper Cranes for Japan initiative. They want to collect 100,000 photos of origami cranes folded by youth across the globe to illustrate 100 wishes for relief and healing for those affected by the natural disaster.

 

The task is simple. You can either find a photo of an origami paper crane online or you can fold your own paper crane, snap a quick pic and upload that photo to the Paper Cranes for Japan Facebook page.

 

Ready to get folding? Watch the video below for an easy origami how-to…


 

Go big: Think about how many wishes you could send if you got your homeroom class, your entire grade, even your whole school involved. All you need is paper and a camera (or camera phone). Whatcha waitin’ for?

when i was in the 4th grade at EVERY recess my class would make paper cranes. we had counters, folders and carriers. we gave out 4 min breaks and then switch off. at the end of the year we gave our thousand paper cranes to a teacher who was leaving. u girls should try it. they are easy to make... and who knows maybe you will get one wish. good luck Smile

We did this for art, but I think it was for our crane foundation...

I really hope you are joking. These people in japan have lost everything-not just things like their tvs, ipods, or clothes, but their family and friends have been killed in this tragedy. Think about it- after one day, one day only, you look around and realize, my friends are dead or injured. my family is gone. i have no food, no money, no clothes, no toys, no school, no education, no HOPE. what we are doing is trying to bring them hope. my class started an organization similar to this after a girl in my class had her parents and cousin died in a car accident, and we collected 400 of them. she started crying when she saw all of these, and she later told theclass that she was going to kill herself because she felt so depressed and griefed after what happened, but realized that after seeing these, she had true friends to get through her time of need, and that she had hope. if this helped ONE GIRL, imagine what 100,00 of these will do to help billions of people?

pop749722, first of all, people in Japan can't even go to the swimming pool or hang out right now... and you don't have to even say that making these cranes for Japan is a 'tree waster' or whatever.
being mean is not my purpose in this message. It's just wrong to say that...
