Origami Cranes
All ages are invited to fold origami cranes in the Cottage-Pisano foyer during the Festival – just follow the trail of folded cranes to the tables!
This activity is organized by the Central Valley Student Chapter
of People to People International, a group that promotes
international understanding and friendship through educational,
cultural, and humanitarian activities.
An ancient Japanese legend
promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be
granted a wish by a crane. Today the origami crane is also a symbol
of peace.
