Origami as a bridge of communication

Origami acts as a bridge of communication between me and my patients. 

Usually, they appreciate the time I spend with them. They feel that they get a fair share of attention from the staff. 

Most of them are delighted to take something away after the session. These may be samples of their favourite origami models folded by me or the products of their own efforts.

The origami session can be an opportunity for them to realise their potential to learn a new skill. 

Learning to fold a fish or a bird may be a small step towards learning a new skill. However, this small step provides a feeling of acceptance. The taste of achievement helps to rebuild their confidence to face the reality when returning to the community.
