We are a group of high school friends on a mission to make a positive difference within our community, spread love, and create a lasting impact. Our mission is to dedicate our time to volunteering, tutor, organize fundraisers that would benefit local organizations, and spread our kindness. We want to contribute to Merced- the beautiful town in which we were all raised. We believe that a single action can make a difference in the community and that collective action can greatly impact the world and create a positive difference. 

 

 Our inspiration came from an Ancient Japanese folklore that folding 1,000 paper cranes will grant one special wish, happiness and eternal good luck. Paper cranes are also a symbol of love, hope, peace, and healing during challenging times: the unprecedented challenges and hardships from the COVID-19 pandemic.
