Il 10 giugno 2011: 10 June 2011" Every event, every situation in which you may find yourself has a positive value, even the dramas, even the tragedies, even the thunderbolt from a calm sky."


Il 10 giugno 2011, giorno favorevole sul calendario buddismo, un versamente della somma di 9,235 Euro e' stato effetuato dal conto di Reach Out ad Ashinaga a Tokyo, Giappone, una associazione no-profit che aiuta l'orfani del terramoto e del tsunami di 11 marzo, 2011.  La somma rappresenta un raccolto di tutto il nostro lavoro ed energia, ma sopprattutto, il simbolo del nostro desiderio di "Reach Out" (dare un mano) all'altro lato del mondo, a Giappone.

Vi ringrazio di cuore, da parte della mia patria e di tutta la gente che avete toccato e per avere lasciato tutti questi diversi incroci che questo progetto ha portato alla mia vita.

REACH OUT per Giappone

On this day 10 June 2011, that is an auspicious day on the Buddhist calendar, a transfer in the amount of 9,235Euro has been made from the account of Reach Out to Ashinaga in Tokyo, Japan, a non-profit association that helps orphans from the earthquake and tsunami of 11 March, 2011.   The sum represents a collection of all our work and energy, but more important, it is a symbol of our desire to reach out across to the other side of the world to Japan.

On behalf of all the people whose lives you have touched, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and for leaving behind all the crossing of different paths that this project has brought to my life.

Ella visits from London




Ella visited Como during her spring break with her mum from London.  She added her contribution to our tsuru basket in between sightseeing during her very first trip to Italy.  She thought she might recruit some of her friends in England  to help us with our project. What a great idea!

Origami Workshop - Il Laboratorio di Origami

 “Many hands make light work”..  Some learned it fast, others just made a mess, a few got addicted.  After two days of help from lots of tiny hands we already made 200 cranes.  Great start!
