12 Day of Christmas



On the 12th Day of Christmas, my true love told me the importance of, the 12 school children at a monument. Here they are at a children's memorial in Hiroshima. There was a child who was injured from the A-Bomb attack and at the time it was believed if a child folded 1,000 Origami Cranes, they would be healed. So she started folding in the hospital. She died after making a few hundered. Now, classes make 1,000 cranes and bring it to the memorial.
