This December thousands of origami cranes inscribed with wishes for the future of the world - from people all over the world - will grace the 18th annual RWF World Tree of Hope at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco.

The tree is RWF's gift to the world, and reflects our philosophy of building bridges and sharing the message that we are all one human family.

Be part of this unique symbol of global unity! Send us your wish and it will be printed, folded into an origami crane, and placed on the RWF World Tree of Hope with thousands of wishes, hopes, and prayers from around the world. It's free and open to everyone!

Notable wishes on the tree include President Barack Obama, Dame Jane Goodall, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, Sharon Gless, Dame Edna, Courtney Cox, David Arquette, Kristi Yamiguchi, Frances Moore Lappe, Danielle Steel, and RuPaul.
