Cranes for Peace: A Global Project

The Cranes 4 Peace Blog, a collaborative project, follows this format, with students from countries around the world contributing to a common blog.

Check the About page for the project, and then go to the blog itself, The Cranes 4 Peace, to see what the children in this collaborative blog are posting.
