ARE WE DOOMED?
    IS THE SUN ABOUT TO SET ON HUMAN
    BEINGS???
     Sadako, a young child who was a survivor of the bombing developed leukemia several   
    years later.  She believed in a legend that if a sick person folded 1000 paper cranes his or
    her wish would be granted and (s)he would be cured of the illness.  Sadako worked very
    hard to fold 1000 cranes so she would be cured.

     Within a few months she died and had only been able to fold 644 paper cranes. Her
    classmates were deeply troubled by her death and they folded the remaining 356 paper
    cranes.  They also collected money to build a marvelous shrine to her and all children who
    are victims of the nuclear bombing. Their effort soon spread to other schools in Japan and
    soon to schools around the world. Today paper cranes come to Hiroshima from all over
    the world from people who want to work for an end to war and for peace.

     ONE LESSON OF SADAKO'S DEATH IS RADIATION HAS ITS EFFECTS LONG AFTER IT IS RECEIVED

    BESIDES BUILDING PAPER CRANES THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN DO TO BRING PEACE IN THE ORLD

    EDUCATE YOURSELF AND YOUR COMMUNITY ABOUT DANGERS OF NUCLEAR WAR AND RADIATION

     EDUCATE PUBLIC OFFICIALS

     GET LOCAL GOVERNING BODIES TO PASS RESOLUTIONS FOR A NUCLEAR FREE WORLD

     GET STATE LEGISLATURES TO PASS SAME RESOLUTIONS

     MOST OF THE NATIONS AND REGIONS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE HAVE DECLARED THEIR  
     NATION OR CONTINENT TO BE NUCLEAR FREE. WE NEED TO WORK ON THE NATIONS OF THE
     NORTHERN HEMISPHERE TO DECLARE OUR REGIONS TO BE NUCLEAR FREE.

     WE ALSO NEED TO WORK ON BEING AT PEACE IN OUR OWN LIVES

     BEGIN LIVING IN PEACE
     SETTLE DISPUTES WITHOUT VIOLENCE
     CONSERVE ENERGY
