4. Making a White Paper Cane
Towards the end of World War II around
1945, the Allies dropped atomic bombs in
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. These
caused around 140,000 people who died in
Hiroshima and 74,000 in Nagasaki.

6. One Japanese girl was caught in the
bombing in Hiroshima. Her name is Sadaku.
She witnessed her mother, father, and her
whole family die before her. She herself
suffered radiation burns that she had to stay
in the hospital. She knew in her young mind
that she didn’t have long to live.

8. She could choose to hate the people that
dropped the atomic bombs and caused her
loved ones to die. But Sadaku chose to make
white paper cranes to send a message for
PEACE. She sent it to any person with a letter
asking them to be an agent of peace. She
made and sent one white paper crane each
day for 683 days before she died.

9. Sadaku would not like people to live in
hatred. She would not like people to be cruel with
one another, cruel enough to drop an atomic
bomb again. People got inspired by Sadaku, thus,
they made the 684th white paper crane, the 685th,
the 686th, and so on. White paper cranes go
around the world until now- sending a message of
hope for peace and understanding.

10. “Be imitations of God, therefore, as dearly
loved children and live a life of love, just as
Christ loved us and gave himself up for us
as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”
– Ephesians 5:1-2

12. Your community is your home. It
influences you directly or indirectly. Thus,
you should participate in keeping it clean,
peaceful, orderly and safe.
