FRYEBURG, Maine — It was almost serendipitous that two simultaneous Peace Crane Projects were in the works during April and May to create an astounding 1,000 paper origami cranes.
"The idea of a Peace Crane Project came as a recommendation from a friend's dad," said Jiwon Choi, a Fryeburg Academy freshman. "I thought it would be a meaningful project (for our origami club) if we all expressed ourselves through art in our hope for peace in Ukraine and all people around the world. When I heard Dawn Crowe was leading another similar project from the Fryeburg New Church, it motivated us to reach out to join our efforts.”
