Latest #AsIAm VideoIn this 9th film in the #AsIAm collection, “Nineteen Paper Cranes,” we meet Sachiko, a core member of L'Arche in Japan. In the film, Sachiko, whose name means “child of happiness,” is making recycled paper, as she does every day. This time, however, Sachiko and her community use the paper to create nineteen origami cranes in honor the victims of the Sagamihara massacre that occurred last summer.
