I remember our grade four teacher reading us the Sadako story; we learned how to make origami cranes, too. I remember we used to be obsessed with origami in grade school. I can still make a piano!

I think making the cranes could also be a great fundraising project to raise money for an organization like Amnesty International? To honour Sadako and human rights? hmmm...

Happy Thanksgiving, Graeme-ji!
