Students at UBC-Okanagan continue their fundraising efforts for disaster relief in earthquake-devastated Japan.
A Japan legend says that if a person folds 1,000 paper cranes, their wishes will be fulfilled.
And that is the wish a group of UBC-Okanagan students have for Japanese earthquake victims.
The students have been folding cranes for more than a week and are accepting donations to teach others how to do the origami.
And on Thursday, students sold homemade udon noodle soup and hundreds of sushi rolls from Taki’s Sushi to raise money.
Yuki Kamitano, who organized the fundraiser, says the fundraisers have been encouraging for Japanese students who are far away from home and want to do something to help.
The students plan to send proceeds from the fundraiser to their sister school in Kyoto.
