I received this email recently and I’m so touched by these children and their generosity! They are learning a gift that will last a lifetime – compassion for fellow humans.
Dear Friends,
Our campaign is titled: “1,000 Paper Cranes to Benefit Japan.”
We will hopefully be folding as many pieces of origami as possible (with the help of other selected students, as well), which would sell for $1.00 each to send to the American Red Cross’s Japan Relief Fund.
We are the world! Thank you for helping those around the globe that need us!

“There comes a time
When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it’s time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can’t go on
Pretneding day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God’s great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need
[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me
Send them your heart
So they’ll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me
When you’re down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There’s no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change will only come
When we stand together as one
[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me”
THANK YOU ALL!

One dollar to encourage children in the art of giving, plus helping people effected by a life altering tragedy. Kudos to Mr Sample and his students! Let’s help them reach their goal!

I love to see how children respond in such a beautiful, touching way when a disaster strikes. We could all learn a lesson from their generosity.
