Cranes of Thanks is an organization hoping to send 1,000 handmade origami cranes and coloring pages to soldiers stationed overseas.
In September I applied for a DoSomething.org 9/11 Remembrance Grant, which provides funds for students to do something thoughtful for soldiers. My project won $500.
Originally I wanted to do this project at a hospital, but since their regulations are so strict, I have decided to move on to homeless shelters, after-school programs, libraries, boy scout troops, classrooms, and other locations.
