The students of the Master's Degree in International Peace, Conflict and Development Studies at the Universitat Jaume I have made a donation of 1,000 euros to the Enriqueta Villavecchia Children's Oncology Foundation, thanks to the solidarity campaign "1 origami 1 euro", of the Mutua General de Catalunya Foundation.

In January 2020, the Master for Peace celebrated its 25th anniversary, an event that brought together the people who year after year have joined these peace studies. In the framework of the anniversary, academic and other more relaxed events were organised, but all with a central axis: the story of Sadako Sasaki and her origami cranes.

Origami cranes are a symbol of peace, and the legend says that if a person has a wish and builds a thousand cranes, the gods will grant this desire. Behind this symbolism is the story of Sadako Sasaki, a Japanese girl who was a victim of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. The irradiation she received produced leukemia and the girl's wish was to be cured and also the end of the war, so she started making cranes (*tsurus* in Japanese). However, she died before finishing one thousand cranes.

So, in the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Master, cranes were made to keep Sadako's wishes alive, health and peace in the world. Between all the assistants: international students, graduated students, professors and people close to the chair a great mural with 1.000 cranes was constructed, that can be seen in the second floor of the building of the Doctoral School of the Universitat Jaume I.

Within the framework of the solidarity campaign "1 origami 1 euro", these 1,000 cranes have become 1,000 euros, an amount that has been chosen to be destined to the Enriqueta Villavechia Foundation for Children's Oncology, an association that fights and researches children's cancer.
