Crafting for a Cause

Last March the kids and I came across an interesting way to craft for a cause. Students Rebuild was collecting paper cranes to raise money for rebuilding the wreckage caused in the earthquake and Tsunami. For each paper crane sent in, $1 was donated. They wanted to raise $200,000. When all was said and done over 2 MILLION paper cranes were sent in . We sent the 4 pictured here:

In January 2012, a sculpture entitled 'Gift by Gift for a Better World' was displayed using 100,000 of the donated cranes. It is an amazing amount a cranes! They will also be giving gift boxes filled with paper cranes to the children of Japan as a symbol of hope.

You can contine to help by purchasing a poster here.
If you find a way to craft for humanity please submit it to crafthumanity@yahoo.com We can't rebuild devestated cities by ourselves, but when we all do a small part it comes together to for something BIG!
