One Thousand Cranes
|
|
| Cranes are revered in Japan as mystical creatures and are said to live for a thousand years. A thousand paper cranes are often given to wish for the recovery of a seriously ill person. In this moving video one woman with a traumatic past uses her fingers, eyes and heart to teach young people from difficult backgrounds the skill of origami so that like her they are able to make something beautiful. Though their scars do not go away in the process, they learn to use the lines of those scars to create something of beauty to share with others. She eloquently points out that one person cannot do it alone but with a collective effort, bit by bit, each person’s potential for growth and hope can be realized. |

We are not our experiences. The harm we do and things we experience do not define us or who we are, they just inform who we are becoming.

Barrio De Paz: Peace Town
“Everything in society tells us to distrust others. I think it’s the other way around. We need to profoundly trust in those around us, in their potential and in who they are,” the grandmotherly Nelsa Curbelo Cora says. In 1999, she walked into the violence infested city of Guayaquil, Ecuador to BE peace. Through her grassroots work, many of Guayaquil’s most dangerous gangs have disarmed, agreed to abandon violence–and now work together to rebuild their community! Watch this profile of Nelsa Curbelo Cora’s work. { read more }
