Hello,
We began our fundraising efforts yesterday; in an attempt to raise £1000 for the British Red Cross - Japan Tsunami Appeal we said that we would make one orgami paper crane for every £1 donated, either through our Just Giving page or in person.
We definitely hit the ground running and we made one paper crane for every £1 that was donated yesterday before we went home... for a total of 51 paper cranes! :)
These paper cranes are currently hung in our living room window, so that everyone who walks past our house can see them. I will post some pictures up later, for those of you who do not live in the area.
We are only part way through the second day and we have raised another £50. A massive thank you to everyone who has donated so far (and thank you again to WHSmith Sheffield Fargate store and Carlsons Stationary & Print in Sheffield for helping us out with enough origami paper for the first 300 cranes).
For the sake of our sanity, I think we will need to work on a working day/waking day basis. For example: If we raise £50 before 17:30 when we go home, then we will attempt to make 50 paper cranes before the end of that day. However, please forgive us if we fall a little behind, there are only three of us and we all have day jobs!
I will try to keep everyone updated on our progress, but for more information here are some useful links, in the meantime:

Not sure why the time is wonky, but I will try to sort that out in the future!
