This December thousands of origami cranes inscribed with wishes for the future of the world - from people all over the world - will grace the 15th annual RWF World Tree of Hope at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco.
The RWF World Tree of Hope is a holiday tree decorated with thousands of origami cranes, each containing written notes of hope & peace from children and individuals from around the world. Created annually as a symbol of global unity and world peace, the tree is a gift from members of the San Francisco LGBTQ and Japanese American communities to the world - given to inspire hope, love, and humanitarian action.
Wishes from world leaders to school children, from San Francisco to Sir Lanka, make the RWF World Tree of Hope a powerful expression of people coming together to create a better world.
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 from around the world.
Notable wishes on the tree include President Barack Obama, Dame Jane Goodall, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, Jane Elliot, Sharon Gless, Dame Edna, Courtney Cox, David Arquette, Kristi Yamiguchi, Frances Moore Lappe, Danielle Steel, and RuPaul
