Every year CISV Smoky Mountain gathers to fold 1,000 cranes, a tradition called Senbazuru in Japan. Each crane carries a wish for peace, inspired by the story of Sadako Sasaki, who began folding cranes while battling leukemia after the bombing of Hiroshima.

Join us anytime between 10-5 on September 19th at Union Avenue Books as we help OREPA fold peace cranes.

Peace isn’t a feeling. It’s a skill. 🌍
Listening to someone you disagree with. Working with people who see the world differently. Finding common ground when it would be easier to walk away.
For 75 years, CISV has treated these as skills you can learn, because they are.

We call it peace education. They just call it the best summer of their lives.
