I say "Great idea!"  Paper for Water is an awesome project.  It is 
impressive that young sisters and CEO's, Isabelle and Katherine Adams, 
have developed such an effective and worthwhile project. For this work 
they received the Florence Temko award from OrigamiUSA, which was given 
at the 2019 PCOC.


And Travis Nolan is an impressive young man.  He received a scholarship 
to attend the 2018 NYC Convention for his origami work up to that point, 
and he has continued to give back so much to the origami community.


With young people like Isabelle, Katherine, and Travis, origami has a 
bright future!


Please do consider donating to Paper for Water, and also to OrigamiUSA 
so that we can continue to support our youth.


Cheers,
Char Morrow

I just wanted to mention another cause. Origamist Travis Nolan has a
project with Paper for Water. He's trying to raise enough money for a well
in Kenya. Here's a video staring him explaining everything:

So what do you say?

[Origami] Giving Tuesday

2019-12-02 Thread Charlene Morrow
Tuesday, December 2, 2019, is Giving Tuesday in the USA (not sure about 
elsewhere). Please think of being generous to origami causes everywhere 
--- local, national, and international --- so we can continue to inspire 
and bring people together joyfully everywhere.


Please note that the annual OrigamiUSA matching fundraiser is going on 
now, and Giving Tuesday would be a great opportunity to support us.  Go 
to  and click on "2019 Matching Fundraiser." And if you 
choose to donate time or funds to an organization closer to your home, 
thanks for that also.


Wishing everyone a happy, safe, and origami-filled end of 2019 and start 
to 2020.
