__Messages of Peace and Hope:__ Before folding your origami peace cranes, think about other areas of the world where the people are experiencing problems...war, government uprising, natural disaster, anything where the people would be feeling sadness, grief, fear, helpless or hopeless. Make your messages thoughtful and sincere and write them on one side of each piece of origami paper. Think about what you want to write first, brainstorming for specific and meaningful words.

You may look at news websites online to find out more details about any particular area of the globe that you need in order to make your message connect with the people of that country even better.

Once your peace cranes are created, write your name in a visible area on the outside of it for credit.
