[Origami] Helping Ukranian kids with origami?
Re: Helping Ukranian kids with origami, my thought would be to fold origami locally, and sell it. Make a sign that you are collecting donations to be sent to whatever specific aid agency you choose, and then send the funds. An origami "bake sale" so to speak, with money going to food, water, medicine, etc., on the ground in Ukraine and Poland via a organization that can make it happen. Maybe even hold a class, charge money for that, and have those people make models to add to your sale, so you have two ways of collecting money for Ukraine. Dawn Tucker,O'Fallon, MO
[Origami] helping Ukranian kids with origami?
Hi friends Most of us are worried about the situation in Ukraine, especially the thousands of children being displaced and living in cramped camps while they wait to be relocated. I was thinking if there is something we could do to help (besides sending money to relief organizations). I mean, if we can do something origami-related that would help kids keep the spirit high. For instance, Japanese parents taught origami to their kids while they stayed locked in internment camps in the USA during WWII. If we could find a way to connect directly with someone in Lviv, or in the Polish side (a food volunteer, an Ukranian mother, etc), we could start some connection, like sending them by phone instructions on how to fold easy figures? Maybe someone can elaborate this idea better? Or any other idea to help these kids. Laura Rozenberg
