So I'm really excited to finally see this project come full circle. I organized the Paper Cranes for Japan campaign that happened at my school. And we donated about 2000 cranes to the cause!
Basically the goal for the Students Rebuild program would donate $1 for every paper crane received and was matched with another $1 by the Bezos Family Foundation. And it would be donated to the reconstruction of Japan! Originally their goal was to receive 100,000 cranes, they ended up getting 2 million cranes from 38 countries! And $500,000 was donated to rebuilding Japan! :D
And now they've created a wonderful, beautiful and amazing piece of art with the help of Vik Munz! And isn't it absolutely brilliant! It is not just some piece of art, its a collaboration and creation of something greater. It signifies the united front of students and people from around the world creating something beautiful for a greater cause. And I am so grateful to have been a part of that!
Poster's can be purchased for $30 of this wonderful design, and the proceeds will benefit Japan in their rebuilding efforts! To purchase one click here!
I cannot wait to see what Students Rebuild come up with next! Whatever it is, it will surely be a success! This just gives me good feelings all around, and gives me hope about this world. :)
