"Because my thoughts could not be relayed over a regular phone line, I wanted them to be carried on the wind," he expressed. Opened to the public in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake and tsunami that claimed over 15,000 lives in 2011, Sasaki’s wind phone received over 30,000 visitors, serving as a conduit for solace and remembrance. In 2023, these poignant instruments caught the attention of our founder, Lynda, who, at the end of her life, sought to bring such comfort to her family and beyond. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65eb94c340b8112046e1d089/0a6eee58-6268-4f1e-85e5-f38ef63aa23e/Lyndas_Phones_Ridgefield_Installation_1.jpg Home - Our grants Success to us means installing another wind phone for a community to use.
