100% of all funds raised will go to the Girl Scouts of Japan, to be used for families affected by the disaster.
4th grade Junior Girl Scout Troop 684 of Coventry invites you to join with other scouts, families, and residents at the Coventry Community Center on Rte. 117 on Good Friday to make origami cranes, using beautiful paper and simple instructions, to send a huge flock of hope to the Japanese. For every crane made, OshKosh, Inc. will send an article of clothing to children in Japan.

There will be raffle baskets, baked goods for sale and prize drawings for those who make lots of cranes.
Cranes have long symbolized peace and hope in Japan. Girl Scouts of Japan sent thousands of origami cranes to the United States after the attacks of 9/11, and this is an inexpensive but heartfelt way to return the favor in Japan’s hour of need. Come join the fun!
