Harrison Hospital Cranes for Peace

Harrison Hospital in Silverdale and Bremerton is working towards 1000 Cranes for Peace. Studies show the therapeutic benefits Origami offers to everyone. The sense of mastering a skill produces brain stimulation, lowers blood pressure and a host of other positive benefits! Since April, twice monthly, a group of volunteers meet in the waiting room for a few hours to make origami cranes.We invite those waiting to fold along with us. We have taught many people the art of paper folding. It's been a great opportunity to help those waiting in the hospital to be distracted for a few minutes and relax a bit and learn a new skill.

So far we've made about 200 so we have a ways to go! We would love to have your help, so please join us Thursday, July 16 from 11 to 3 at the Bremerton campus. To learn how to fold the peace crane, visit http://origami.org.uk/origamicrane
