During the long time of being ill I did by and then origami (paper folding). It was good distraction but in addition I did it because I needed both hands and I had to think logical, I practiced my memory. I had to transfer a diagram into something 3 D. Therefore I imagined that many parts of my brain where involved and I hoped that way it may have a good impact on it. One advantage was that there are kinds of models, some very easy and some extreme difficult. So there had been always something which would fit my state of brain.
I just stumbled over a project: Tree of hope
I wonder, if we can make something all together like this. It will not be as big as this, but maybe someone of us has a good idea

..."The World Tree of Hope, is created as a way to inspire hope and encourage people to think about what they would like for the future of the world. The project recognizes the needs and desires of individuals to participate in the global community and offers a way for people from all over the world to come together to express their hopes and intention..."

Sadako's Story: In 1955, the folded crane became known as a symbol of peace when the world learned the story of Sadako Sasaki. Sadako was two when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. She was home, about one mile from ground zero. Several years later, she developed the disease of the bomb – leukemia. While in the hospital, a friend brought her an origami crane and taught Sadako the Japenese legend that the folder of 1000 cranes is granted a wish. Sadako started folding but grew weaker with time and passed away 356 cranes short of her goal. Her classmates folded the rest. All 1000 were buried with Sadako. On the wings of the cranes, Sadako would write messages. One deeply profound message read, "I will write peace on your wings and you will fly all over the world." Her hope, strength and determination have inspired millions.
