DOE Consent to Photograph, Film or Videotape a Student for Non-Profit Use

NOTE: We will be filming at many schools as possible for archival purposes and other non-profit uses. Consent forms must be completed for all participants. Please make a set of copies for all students who will be attending the program. Since the forms require parent signatures, this must be done in advance of our visit. We will collect the completed forms at the beginning of each school visit. We strongly encourage you to assign a student or group of students to film the event.

MAKING PAPER CRANES:
IN REMEMBRANCE OF SADAKO SASAKI

Ten years after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a young girl from Hiroshima named Sadako Sasaki died as a result of the leukemia. Sadako’s determination to fold one thousand paper cranes, symbolizing her hope for peace and her courageous struggle with her illness, inspired her classmates. After her death, they started a national campaign to build the Children’s Peace Statue in memory of Sadako and the many other children who were victims of the bombing of Hiroshima. To this day, in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, the statue of Sadako is beautifully decorated with thousands of paper cranes brought and sent by people around the world.

We encourage classes from New York to make paper cranes to send back to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
