Orphan Relief working with Crane Folding Project
03/22/2011 -
In cooperation with the University of Wisconsin-Superior, the University of Minnesota-Duluth, Marshall School, Northern Lights, Duluth Edison Charter Schools, YMCA, and the Duluth and Superior Sister Cities Program, Orphan Relief is participating in the Crane Folding Project as a visible sign of the communities support for Japan.
For a donation of 50 cents, you can select a lovely piece of origami paper and learn to fold a crane. In Japanese culture, it's a custom to fold 1,000 cranes in hopes of bringing good fortune or recovery from illness or disaster. Cranes will be displayed in the UWS Yellowjacket Union.
Other locations will be announced soon and we will provide updates on Orphan Relief.
We are hopeful that cranes created and donated can be sent to Japan and distributed to children in orphanages and children's homes as a gesture of the communities love and support.
