Edit: We reached our goal, over 1000 paper cranes to see what we've done with them visit: http://sistermischif.blogspot.com/2008/02/paper-crane-anyone.htmlThe paper crane has come to symbolize peace. Join Sister Ora Gasmi Delight in folding paper cranes for peace, love and joy in our community. Make a wish as you fold your paper crane, and add it to the collection at 1 Voice Community Center. When we reach 1000 cranes, Sister Ora Gasmi will lead a New Year's Ritual at the center, releasing the community's wishes to the Universe. Stay tuned for more details.
Ancient Japanese legend says that 1000 paper cranes will bring the crane to grant your wish for health or long life. A little girl named Sadako Sasaski attempted to do this using paper from get well gifts, etc. during her stay in the hospital, and inspired a book based on her story, as well as a children's peace memorial. Over time, the paper crane has come to symbolize peace worldwide.
