You've heard me babbling on and on about the crane chandelier, well now it is done. Except I really need your help.
What is Project Sarurun?
Project Sarurun is a grassroots arts and craft campaign project that uses the power of art to bring change to the lives of children affected by war. The main focus of this project is to create chandeliers, each made from 1,000 paper cranes, to represent the accumulated hopes of people who wish to work together to bring peace and well being to children trapped in conflicts around the world. Chandeliers are auctioned at their completion and all proceeds go towards a charity that works toward a similar cause. Learn more
