Crane Train +
Hey Kids! Hop aboard the Crane Train +
Have you seen our Recycle Love movie? Check it out…
Trash to Treasure
Take a look at the cranes in our video. Can you believe they’re made from trash? We used stuff that people throw away… magazines, posters, advertisements; paper that would have ended up in the land fill. It’s a simple way to help people understand that we all have the power to discover the hidden beauty in everything and everyone.
Make a Wish. Make a Crane. Make a Difference.
Traditionally it’s believed that if you fold 1000 origami cranes, your wish will come true. It takes a LOT of time to fold 1000 cranes so we decided it would be easier and more fun to get a bunch of kids, big and small, from all over the world to fold one crane. Imagine kids in countries all over the world, united to support each other’s dreams.
Why a train?
Why not a bus, a car, a boat or a plane? It’s simple. One word, connection. Without connection, it wouldn’t be called a train. Kids naturally connect. Children remind us that curiosity is good, fun is important and play makes us smile. We believe that kids have the power to Open Hearts, and that even the smallest child can Dream Big. All Aboard!! The Crane Train is leaving the station. Are you ready for an adventure?
How can you be a part of this monumental undertaking? It’s simple. Send us a photo of your crane, hanging in a tree, on a car, on your dog’s tail, along with your written wish, and we’ll share them with everyone.
We imagine kids in classrooms worldwide reaching out to join us in this global project. Tell your friends. Tell your teachers. Tell the world. Sharing@oneworldheartproject.org*
