Ms. Wickham's Discovery Class presents A Thousand Cranes!

This true story is of a girl, Sadako Sasaki, who lived in Hiroshima at the time of the atomic bombing by the United States. She developed leukemia from the radiation and spent her time in a nursing home creating origami cranes. She was inspired by the Japanese legend that one who made 1000 paper cranes would be granted a wish. Her wish was simply to live. However, she managed to fold only 644 cranes before she became too weak to continue. She died on October 25, 1955. Her friends and family helped her finish her dream by folding the rest of the cranes, which were buried with Sadako. They also built a statue of Sadako holding a giant origami crane in Hiroshima Peace Park. On the statue is a plaque that reads, "This is our cry. This our prayer. Peace on Earth."
"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." ~Anne Frank
