	Fátima Granadeiro, Portogual
	Name: Maria de Fátima Neves Granadeiro da Silva, normally known as Fátima Granadeiro I'm teacher, I have a Basic School degree and now I'm taking a Master degree in Education. I have also an Accounting degree. In 1986 when I started to study Japanese culture (Ikebana) I came across with Origami. As all the Portuguese children I knew how to fold a boat, a bird and a few more. My first exhibition (1986) was held in a Seminary for handicap people and since then I have worked in various occasions to develop this wonderful art. I went to some international conventions, in Spain and Italy when I met many Origami friends. I also have a seminary with Master Toyoaki Kawai when he came to Lisbon. I have published four handcraft books for Basic School and in Origami area I have a few works published in Italy, Spain end one in America. As teacher I always speak about the skills of Origami in different curricular areas in many Portuguese schools. Besides the educational area I also have tried to increase people interest for the different Origami areas through demonstrations, conferences, workshops, and exhibitions. During all this years I have the great honour of being supported by the Japanese Embassy staff. Last year (30 August 2008) I received a Special Commendation by HARA Satoshi, Ambassador of Japan to Portugal, on behalf of the Government and the people of Japan for the invaluable services rendered towards promoting cross-cultural understanding and friendship between the peoples of Japan and Portugal, what shows that was worthwhile all the effort done during the last twenty-two years for developing Origami in Portugal. To commemorate the occasion in 21 August I have started a blog about Origami and Education.

	Francis Ow, Singapore
	I am now 59 years old and I have been doing Origami since I was a kid. I do not remember exactly how old I was when I started folding but I remember it was before I started going to school. As for creative origami, I started designing my own models in 1978. That means 30 years of creative Origami. I fold all kinds of models but I like Geometric Folding. I specialise in Modular Origami and of course Heart models. Peace and Harmony through Origami.
