I devised this "Cranes of Thanks" project because I love origami, working with children, and the "heroes" that defend our country! I am teaching youth to fold paper origami cranes which will be placed on a coloring page with a letter on the back to be sent to our soldiers overseas. This project will continue until we have completed 1,000 Cranes of Thanks! All of the supplies have generously been funded by DoSomething.org.

This is just the beginning to what I pray will be an amazing project and experience. I applied for a DoSomething.org 9/11 Remembrance Grant and... I won! DoSomething.org generously donated $500 to get my project off the ground.
