    Are you involved in EJCA programs or attend EJCA events? Do you have ideas for the association? Do you want to have a say in how the EJCA is run? We are looking for board nominations!

    It is very important for us to have a variety of perspectives on the board: Japanese Canadians (Nikkei), those who immigrated from Japan, family members, club representatives, youth and young adults, cultural program instructors and participants, parents of children involved in EJCA programs, etc.

    This is a great opportunity to get involved if you have ideas for events and programs that you think would be of interest to members.

    Please see the moshi-moshi for more details and how to apply!

    Hi EJCA members and friends, 日本語は後半にあります。

    EJCA received a request from the Volunteer Coordinator at the Misericordia Hospital. “We have a project to make over 1,000 Origami Cranes for the long-term patients at the Hospital. Would you please work with us to make one “1,000 Cranes Wreath” and Easter cards with cranes for long-term patients?”


    Because of the COVID-19 situation, these long-term patients have been isolated and very lonely with no one visiting them. Volunteers wanted to do something to cheer them up at Easter time.

    There is a true story of Sadako, a girl in Japan, who kept making origami cranes while she was fighting leukemia that was the after effect of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. Since then, origami cranes have been symbols of Peace, Hope, Love, and Healing.

    The EJCA board approved the donation of as many origami cranes as possible… maybe 1,000! EJCA will provide you with origami paper. But we have to hurry; we have a very tight timeline!

    Let’s make origami cranes and send our Easter message to these patients.

    Everyone is welcome to join this wonderful opportunity: If you do not know how to make origami cranes, this will be a perfect opportunity to learn; it is easy!

    Please email (events@ejca.org) as soon as possible if you can help. EJCA will post-mail you origami paper right away if you need any. If you have some of your own that you would like to donate, that is even better.

    Please let us know:

    1. Your full name
    2. Your email address
    3. How many cranes you can make (20, 50, 100, 200, other?)
    4. If you require origami paper, please send your mailing address so that EJCA can post-mail origami paper to you.

    Process:

    1. Use standard origami paper of 15cm x 15cm, colour or with design.
    2. PDF instructions or YouTube video. There are number of other instructions available.
    3. When made, please do not open them at the end. Keep them flat for safe shipping.
    4. Bundle each ten cranes with elastic bands. Put them in an envelope or such. Put your name, email address and the number of cranes on the outside of the envelope.
    5. By March 10, drop the envelope/box in the mailbox at the centre. An envelope/box should be smaller than 30 cm x 35 cm x 10 cm to fit into the mail slot.

    Please invite your family members and friends to join you!

    Any questions? events@ejca.org

    Deliver your cranes flat
