CRANES FOR PEACE
Is your school planning a unit on Japan? Or on Peace? Does your school offer Japanese? If so, please consider signing up for the Cranes for Peace project, sponsored by the Sasakawa Fellowship Fund in New Zealand. In 2004 over 90 schools throughout New Zealand participated in Cranes for Peace. Schools work either alone or in clusters to fold 1,000 paper cranes which are sent to the Mayor of Hiroshima soon after Hiroshima Day (6 August ). A comprehensive Kit provides all materials needed to complete the project. Postage to Japan is covered. Extensive media coverage is arranged. Please e-mail your Expression of Interest to Nelly Bess (rbess@paradise.net.nz) by April 13. You will receive further information upon which to base your decision to commit to the project. Please direct questions to the same e-mail address. For more information on the Sasakawa Fellowship Fund for Japanese Language Education, and on Cranes for Peace.
