One Million Cranes

-       

On behalf of my beloved niece's school project:

An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury.  The goal of ONE MILLION CRANES is for children from 1,000 US schools and groups to each make 1,000 origami cranes wishing good health, happiness, and healing to the children and people of Japan.  Each crane will be sponsored for $1.00 and all of the money raised will be sent to the Red Cross Japanese Relief effort.

Wellwood International School, a Baltimore County magnet school in Pikesville, MD has registered to participate in ONE MILLION CRANES. Wellwood is currently the only school in Maryland that is participating in the project and has a fund raising goal of at least $1,000.  If you would like to participate by sponsoring a crane, checks should be made payable to the American Red Cross with Japan Relief noted in the memo line.  Your canceled check will act as your receipt for tax purposes.  Please send all checks to
