Open Your Mind with Origami

Funded Dec 23, 2011

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your donation to my Origami project. When I started this project I did not realize the impact it would have on our whole school, not just the children but also the adults. Many children who did not get to participate have come up to me and expressed an interest in learning how to create some of the things we have tried. Also many teachers have expressed interest in this project and would like to incorporate an origami project into their classroom.

The greatest part of this project has been seeing the excitement, joy and sense of accomplishment on the faces of my children. The biggest surprise has been with the older young men that I work with. They love creating works of art. Hopefully, a new direction, one which is filled with art is opening up to them. They can do it and they want to do it.

Again thank you for being part of my project. I wish you peace and joy,”

With gratitude,

Ms. Maldonado
