thousand cranes
1) a simple act, costing nothing at all, with the power to save a life- when only a simple act of kindness can. it is often done to support a cause you believe in, when you can’t make a charitable contribution- but make every effort to draw support from others.
an example of a ‘thousand cranes’ act would be the fundraiser called, “the heart of a soldier”or “the story of sultan and sfc brian -ssanowicz” where a community in nj has come together to raise funds for a stray dog rescued by a u.s. soldier stationed in afghanistan. in this example, the vet-i-care division of northstar vets in nj has committed itself to saving this dog’s life- before the funds can be raised.
another example of a ‘thousand cranes’ act would be to support this cause, if only to find the event flyer online and email it to a news station- which is much simpler than folding even a single origami paper crane and could be the single act of kindness to save a life.
2.) “an ancient j-panese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury.” as published on wikipedia
3.) “the t-tle of a book called “sadako and the thousand paper cranes by eleanor coerr, first published in 1977.” which tells the story of a young girl stricken with leukemia by the bomb dropped in hiroshima, j-pan” as published on wikipedia
i am doing the ‘thousand cranes’ act of making this legitimate definition viral, because i refuse to stand by and do nothing when i can help save a life with the simplest of acts. please do a single ‘thousand cranes’ gesture- if only once in your life. you may inspire someone else to do the same- and the life saved next might be yours.
a ‘thousand cranes’ gesture would be to support “a heart of a soldier” or “the story of sultan and sfc brian -ssanowicz” and help save the life of an injured stray dog found by a u.s. soldier in afghanistan.
