If I’ve learned anything from my 13 years running the Peace Crane Project, it’s that you can never sign up too early in the year to find a good match for Peace Day. Because the school year is ending soonish for many of you, we always have few exchanges being initiated this time of year. This means I have more time to list you NOW for an exchange in September, and you will have an easier time finding the perfect exchange partner. Just add a note in the comments box that you are looking for an exchange partner for Peace Day. Your future self and mine thank you!
HERE is the sign-up form.
We currently have 29 countries on the exchange list. That’s a good start! Before the pandemic we had 152 countries engaged, so we have a long way to go to reach our previous best. Can you help? HERE is a link to a shareable flyer about the Peace Crane Project (in English, French, Turkish, and Spanish.) Please send a copy to every teacher and youth group leader you know. It’s always free and open to everyone, anywhere in the world.
Reminder to please send your Cranes for Hiroshima as soon as you are able. It’s a big job stringing them and the sooner they arrive here the more we can deliver in August. Thank you.
Did you know we held a “Smallest Crane Contest” a few years ago? Here are a couple of the superstar folders, located in the USA. How small can your students fold? Send us your photos! We’ll post them here.
Thanks for keeping the cranes in flight,
Sue
