Thanks to bilingual MC Haruka-san’s initiative, I was in charge of the community origami project, the paper crane installation and workshop at the event hosted by the Sydney Japanese community, JCS.
The event welcomed 88-year-old Hiroshima survivor Ms Keiko Ogura, who spoke to Sydney’s high school students and the public about her experience and the importance of peace. It was a rare and moving opportunity to hear her story firsthand, which deeply touched everyone-including me.
The event was also featured on SBS World News and TBS(Tokyo Broadcasting System).
