Frogs for a Good Cause
Oooh, this was a fun one.
I moved to a new school my 7th grade year. What better way to spend the first holiday season than making origami frogs and selling them to fund a shoebox for Samaritan's Purse?
If you don't know, these shoeboxes could be the only good gift a kid recieves for the holidays (or even their whole life) in these impoverished communities.
Sure, the pricing of the Frogs was more along the lines of "donate whatever you want", but it worked out.
I raised enough money to go to the Dollar Tree as a proud twelve year old and fill a shoebox with toys, a toothbrush, and an origami frog.
Origami is an art form, and like every art form, it can be used for a cause bigger than ourselves.
