The RWF  World Tree of Hope is a holiday tree decorated with thousands of origami cranes, each containing written notes of hope and peace from children and individuals from around the world. Created annually as a symbol of global unity and world peace, the tree is a gift from members of the San Francisco LGBTQ and Japanese American communities to the world - given to inspire hope, love and humanitarian action. Wishes from world leaders to school children, from San Francisco to Sir Lanka, make the RWF World Tree of Hope a powerful expression of people coming together to create a better world.

The Tree will be at Grace Cathedral through January 8, 2022.

Be part of this unique symbol of global unity! Send in your wish and it'll be written on an origami crane and put on the World Tree of Hope.
