Cranes for peace

Hard to believe, but until this week I had never made a paper crane in my life!

They have always fascinated me, though they were a bit fiddly to attempt with my girls within reach. I'm more of a origami star person, really.

In order to raise funds for Japan and maintain awareness of the country's recovery efforts, Urbia Fresh Cafe will be hosting a local peace crane event from 9am to 3pm. There will be participants on hand to teach newcomers (like myself!) how to fold cranes. Our goal is to make a crane for every life lost. We will be sending photos taken at the event along with the cranes.

To top off the goodwill, Urbia Fresh Cafe will be donating 10% of proceeds for the day!

If you cannot attend, please visit the main event page on Facebook to find other times, or consider donating your own cranes.

Feel free to register on here on Facebook - I hope you will join us at Urbia Fresh Cafe next weekend!
