Have you ever wondered what a few hundred origami cranes would look like?

I thought that I would take the opportunity tonight to take a few photographs of our efforts.  This photo is of a few hundred cranes we have made over the last week and a half - it does not include the few hundred that are already hanging in the window or about the hundred that we have already given away in exchange for donations.


We would really appreciate it if you could help us to spread the word of what we are trying to achieve, as we only have about £300.00 more to go!  You can see the rest of our pictures, by visiting our Flickr page.

Tuesday 22 March 2011

Running Total - March 22nd, 2011

Total Amount: £631.35
Raised Today: £100.00 (Happy face, indeed.)

Total Origami Cranes: 540 (+ 1 Turtle)
Made Today: 0

Number of 'Origami Machine' Hours: 0 (Sorry!)

I know that Yuko has given away some cranes, raised some money, and made even more cranes.  I will include both the donations and the origami cranes in the running totals tomorrow, once we have it all in hand; however, but I believe it is around £60.00, which would put us nearly 70% of the way to our goal!

Yuko has been out to another event to raise some money tonight, so I will find out her totals tomorrow (plus how many cranes were given away or made) and include it in tomorrow's running numbers.

Sunday 20 March 2011

Running Total - March 20th, 2011

Total Amount: £531.35

We have actually made more than 500 origami cranes, but we have kept some back from the total so that we can give them away to people who make £1 donations in person at events/work/etc - so we'll make up the 31 and 7/20 from the deficit tomorrow evening.  :D
