About the Tree: The World Tree of Hope is the largest origami holiday tree in the world, standing over 23 feet tall and decorated with over 17,000 origami cranes and stars, each hand folded and inscribed with wishes for the future of the world. The wishes come from people of all ages, all faiths and all walks of life. The cranes are not mere decorations in a holiday display; they are representations of hopes and dreams. Since 2006, Rainbow World Fund has presented the World Tree of Hope as a symbol of global unity and hope, to promote peace, love and humanitarian action. The tree is created by Rainbow World Fund and given as a gift to the City of San Francisco by members of the local LGBTQ and Japanese American communities. http://www.worldtreeofhope.org/
