International Day of Peace and Peace Crane Folding with OREPA

Each year, our chapter partners with OREPA to observe International Peace Day by folding origami cranes

known as “Peace Cranes,” in honor of Sadako Sasaki,

who died after the bombing of Hiroshima during World War II.

You can watch a short 8-minute documentary on Youtube about Sadako here.

This year lease join us and OREPA as we celebrate International Peace Day on September 19! Come fold peace cranes with us between 10am – 6pm! Someone will teach you if you don’t know how! Bring a chair to be sure we have enough if you can. Free parking is available at First Presbyterian Church. See you there!
