Some children in conflict areas suffer from trauma and can withdraw into themselves, but after learning how to create toys with origami, they often start to talk with other children to teach them how to make their own origami shapes.
The children saw a different war from the one others saw on TV and by seeing their pictures, people can understand what they experienced, Sierra said.
"All these humanitarian groups are providing them with many things such as first aid, food and essential things. But there have been very few programs for souls, for spiritual wealth for children because the priority of the organizations was to feed them."
But people should pay more attention to helping heal children's psychological wounds, Sierra said, adding he wants Japanese people to think what they can do for children in conflict regions.
"I did all of this without receiving any money as volunteer work. If I can do this much only by myself, imagine what we can do if we put together our strength to cooperate in a bigger project," Sierra said.
