Dear Colleague,

Children's Peace Statue - Did you know that in 1989 a group of children at
Arroyo Del Oso began work on a project for peace. These students in Carrie
Gassner and  Christine Luke-Jones  classes  were inspired by  the story of
Sadako Sasaki,  a school girl in Hiroshima who died  of leukemia caused by
the after-effects  of the atomic  bomb. The students began by making 1,000
paper cranes as a wish  for peace.  They were also inspired by a statue of
Sadako,  built by  student effort in Hiroshima,  and began this project to
build a peace monument in Los Alamos -- the birthplace of the atomic bomb.

Did you know - that  this small  group  started in  1989 has grown to more
than 10,000  young people  from all over the world, and these young people
have collected over $6,000.00 for the statue.

Did you know - that  students in your school can be involved in the design
contest for the statue. Information listed below:

Please continue to help us. We need your help more than ever.

* From January 1 to February 1, 1993  send in peace statue designs to your
  state chapter of AIA,  the  American Institute of Architects. For infor-
  mation call: (202)262-7351.  Remember, our goal is two scale models from
  each state.
* Continue to collect more names.
* Try to raise and send one dollar per name or other donations. Only money
  from children will be used to build the peace statue.
* We really need  postage stamps to  answer mail. Ask friends to send us a
  book of stamps (29 cents) or money for postage.
* Fold  and take  cranes  to children and teens who have cancer, and other
  terminal illnesses in your community.

							Respectfully,
							  Sam Camdelaria
