JASH is excited to participate in the Harris County AAPI Month Celebration with a special origami booth highlighting Children’s Day (Kodomo no Hi)—a cherished tradition in Japan celebrated every May 5th.

We'll be teaching eventgoers how to fold origami kabuto samurai helmets, while sharing the history and meaning behind this fun cultural craft. Our booth will also feature a vibrant display of Japanese koinobori (carp streamers)—symbols of strength, courage, and the hope for children's bright futures.

We're looking for friendly, enthusiastic volunteers to help us engage the public, lead origami activities, and share the joy of Japanese culture. No prior origami experience required—just a passion for cultural exchange and a willingness to learn!

Come be a part of this unique celebration and help us inspire curiosity, creativity, and community spirit.

Sign up below no later than Monday, May 12.
