Thousand Paper Crane Project

👋 This blog post is a reflection of the Thousand-Paper-Crane initiative we began in July, 2023 and ended in January, 2024. Our project was a success! By hosting a summer camp, we were able to buy more than $1200+ worth of presents to donate to Alberta Children’s Hospital.

The purpose of this volunteer project was twofold: to raise funds for gifts and to fold 1,000 paper cranes to create a beautiful paper crane gift for our beloved Calgary Children’s Hospital. Our goal was to bring hope and joy to children in hospitals, leaving a lasting positive impact in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This project was inspired by Sadako Sasaki and her wish to fold thousand paper cranes after she contracted leukemia. Through art and creative expression, we are able to pass on Sadako's hope to every single child in the hospital.
