Several years ago,Jim Turner heard a program on the radio for the N.C.Children's Hospital and decided he could use his love of origami art to help the hospital raise money for muchneeded programs.
So at the age of 13,Turner began making origami greeting cards and selling them to florists and book stores to benefit the hospital.His fundraising program,known as Heartbeats for Kids,has since raised more than $2,500 for the hospital.“The first cards I made had a heart in them and you could remove the heart from the card and make it beat,”Turner says,explaining how he came up with the name for the fundraiser.Now a 17yearold high school junior,Turner has less time to devote to cardmaking,because origami is a
intensive labor and each card can take up 30 minutes to design.But Turner still enjoys origami art and has created original designs that have been selected for exhibits that tour the country and world.
Turner is an interesting mixture of engineer,artist and philanthropist(慈善家).His mother,Peggy Turner,says folding origami is a combination of math and art that has helped her son develop his sense of space for 3D objects.Turner is also involved in community service at school and at his church.He was named a Distinguished Finalist this year for the 2010 Good Spirit of Community Awards for his service activities for the community,including the Heartbeats for Kids project.In the process of his volunteer efforts,Turner also managed to be one of the only 381 youths in the country to earn the top score of 2,400 points on his SAT test.
