Isabelle, Katherine and Trinity Adams are the three sisters behind the non-profit Paper For Water. They fold and sell origami products, raising money to bring water and the Word to the thirsty. When the sisters learned about girls world-wide who do not get to go to school because they spend their days hauling water, and that a child dies every 20 seconds from unclean water, they wanted to make a change. Paper For Water seeks to empower the youth in developed countries with skills in leadership, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship. It also wants to improve their understanding, compassion, empathy and to broaden their knowledge of the world around them.

Trinity designed the June project – an origami candy dish – for the Twelve Months of Paper Calendar, and she shows us how to make it in the video above.
