Cranes fly for Peace
Jo Wharton has dedicated much of her life to honoring Sadako Sasaki. Sadako was a young Japanese girl that died from the effects of the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima Japan on August 6th 1945.
Before Sadako died, she believed in the ancient Japanese legend that said those who fold a thousand cranes will haev a long life. Sadako died on October 25th 1955 before she could flod a thousand cranes. Young people of Japan and indeed people all over the world, generation after geneartion have taken up Sadako’s belief that origami Peace cranes can bring Peace to all the World.
