An exciting (& meaningful) project

After seeing all the news about Japan, it's hard not wanting to do something to help. Me and Mayumi-san has started this project together. After reaching out to so many locations, we have finally got a generous offer from Cincinnati Public Radio, Inc, they are donating a booth for us to set up fundraising event at the Kite Fest. Our theme "Make a donation for an origami", meaning, we will sell the origami for any amount of donation. All money will be donated to the overseas Japanese Red Cross Society directly, this way, we can ensure every penny is going to be spent for rebuilding Japan.

The past 3 days, we have come up with a great plan, starting our volunteer recruitment, hoping to get as many people as we can find to help folding origami within 2 weeks. There are still lot to do, but we are all very passionate about this, and we have a great team together. Now, we just need perfect sunny weather for the Kite Festival, hoping to reach close to the organizer's expecting 15000 attendees for the two days event. (April 9th & 10th).

We have a temporary blog site about our project- http://www.cincinnatiorigamiproject.blogspot.com/
If u live around here and would like to help out, contact me anytime. Or come over to the Kite Fest, spend some great family time and stop by our booth.
