In Quezon City, Philippines, students gathered at the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish to create 1,000 paper cranes in support of Pope Leo's call for peace in the Middle East. This initiative, dubbed the “Paper Cranes for Peace” project, draws inspiration from Sadako Sasaki, a young girl who folded cranes while battling leukemia after the Hiroshima bombing in 1945. Her story symbolizes hope and resilience, as she believed that making 1,000 cranes would grant her wish for peace. Parish priest Fr. Robert Reyes expressed his desire to let children's voices be heard through this project, and they plan to seek an audience with the apostolic nuncio to deliver their message to the Pope. The cranes will serve as a powerful symbol of solidarity and hope for an end to conflict.
