“A Crane for Every Hope” Event Held at PAU

02.11.2026
Students came together at an awareness event organised by the Child Development Programme of Pamukkale University (PAU) Denizli Vocational School of Health Services (DSHMYO) as part of Leukaemia Week, with the aim of bringing hope to children fighting leukaemia and strengthening public awareness.

As part of the event, Fatoş Temel, a teacher at Zübeyde Hanım Kindergarten, told students the story of Sadako Sasaki in a fairytale-like manner. Following the atomic bombing, Sadako fought leukaemia and folded paper cranes in the hope of recovering. Drawing on Sadako's story, students were given information about leukaemia and the work carried out by LÖSEV (the Foundation for Children with Leukaemia). The importance of public awareness and solidarity with children fighting leukaemia was also emphasised.

During the practical part of the event, students made three paper cranes each. One crane was dedicated to world peace, another to the memory of Sadako, and the third to wishes for health, happiness and hope for all children. Carefully crafted by the students, the paper cranes were displayed in the school corridors as symbols of hope, peace and solidarity. In this way, the event aimed to extend its message into the school's shared spaces and raise awareness among a wider community.

Bringing together feelings of hope, peace and solidarity, the event contributed to developing students' social awareness and sensitivity. The Child Development Programme thanked Fatoş Temel, a teacher at Zübeyde Hanım Kindergarten, for her contribution to the event.
