The origami swan is our symbol of transformation and hope. We invite you to Join the Fold! Create an origami swan and send it to Children’s Home Society.
We’ll add your swan(s) to the flock of 2,700 that will hang from the ceiling of the new dining hall on the Sioux Falls campus. The art project will be displayed later at Children’s Home Shelter for Family Safety and at the new Black Hills campus.
Making Your Swan
- Use square origami paper that is 4” x 4”, 6” x 6” or 10” x 10”.
- On the paper, you may write a message of hope to the people we serve.
