Event Description:

The World Tree of Hope is a global holiday project promoting peace, love and humanitarianism for our community of San Francisco and for all people on earth. The tree is created by a team of volunteers in San Francisco with the help of people from all over the world.

For 2024, we will be putting up the 15 foot high tree that we've done the past several years due to COVID-19, social distancing and time restrictions at Grace Cathedral. This version of the World Tree of Hope is decorated with up to 10,000 origami cranes and stars that are inscribed with people's wishes and hopes for the future of the world.

The World Tree of Hope incorporates the symbols of many traditions — the tree, light, gathering, stars and peace cranes to create a unique experience that invites all people to come together and celebrate the possibility for a brighter future. The tree is inspired by the story of Sadako Sasaki, the little girl whose journey and death several years after the bomb was dropped in Hiroshima, transformed the crane into a symbol of world peace.

Although there are multiple dates and times to participate in helping to put up the 2024 World Tree of Hope only dates and times where a member of the One Brick management team is present will the event be listed on the One Brick calendar.

Where to Meet:

At this stage of the project we will be working on the cathedral level within the AIDS Chapel.

Rainbow World Fund:

Rainbow World Fund (RWF) is an all-volunteer international humanitarian service agency based in the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) and friends community. RWFs mission is to promote LGBT philanthropy in the area of world humanitarian relief. Founded in 2000 by members of the San Francisco LGBT community, RWF works to help people who suffer from hunger, poverty, disease, oppression and war by raising awareness and funds to support relief efforts around the world. RWF works in the LGBT and friends community educating people about world need. Along with raising our communitys consciousness, RWF raises funds to support humanitarian relief projects. RWF provides a united voice, a visible presence, and a structure to deliver charitable assistance from the LGBT community to the larger world community. RWF currently supports projects focusing on global HIV/AIDS, water development, landmine eradication, hunger, education, orphans and disaster relief. RWF also works to raise awareness of the charitable contributions of the LGBT community, and to establish connections with non-LGBT communities. RWF programs strengthen our community by increasing LGBT visibility, serving as a platform for our communitys compassion and concern and changing how the world sees LGBT people by building bridges with the larger world community. More information here: http://www.rainbowfund.org/tree/rainbow-world-fund.html We also believe in the power of hope and try to inspire hope in all of our projects. In the United States we create The World Tree of Hope at Grace Cathedral annually.
