★ The Progress Post: Wishers and Donators
Annnnnnd, we're done! Okay, not really. But the deadline's been extended, secret allowances made to new participants and all cranes have been sent to the addresses of one or the other staff. In commemoration of all the fans who got together and thought this was a good idea, here's the final list of people who signed up to get involved with the Thousands Cranes Project.
We've had people signed up from all over the world: United States, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Denmark, Italy, Mexico, St. Lucia of the Carribbeans, Brazil, New Zealand, Germany, Malaysia, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, Slovakia, France, Hungary, Argentina, Sweden, and Thailand! Only one little sign of how truly worldwide our boys have become.
Unfortunately, for one reason or the other, not everybody sent in their cranes (and as I finish organizing my emails and things, I'm starting to think some got lost in the post, oh no!). It's too bad that not everyone was able to be a part of the final project, but thank you so much for expressing your interest even when we were just a brand new group with this very first project. It boosted our confidence and helped us decide to expand this project. Which is a very good thing, as this way, I think we managed to achieve our original 6,000 cranes goal.
We hope that, if/when our next project is set up, you'll think of participating then. Don't forget, this is all going towards showing the boys our love with them, and as we hope will be our trend, ways that don't tend toward buying things, but rather making things.
Anyway, so with that said, thank you very much to those of you who signed up and successfully sent their cranes to the USA address! A warning, those of you who sent the cranes to Italy or Indonesia are not included in this list. Don't worry! We'll update this as soon as they arrive at the USA address! Thank you to the following participants:
And a thousand and twenty-seven thanks to:
Connie X. (United States)
Jade (United Kingdom)
Gabriela M (Slovakia)for helping out by donating to the project. You may not think your donation means a lot in the grand scale, but even so, it still helps us out a lot. It's that little bit more that we don't need to pay out of our own pockets. Money things will be discussed more later on.
For those of you who are jiggling your legs in anxiety, the cranes are being opened as I type (okay, not really), but the majority have been opened and we have to say, everything looks beautiful! Pictures will be posted when everything is packaged neatly, so look forward to it!
