The Tsuru Project officially began in late January 2005 when the first seven cranes were sent to TPTB in Los Angeles. I had taken pictures of the initial package, but for the longest time I was not able to locate them until my Dad found them somewhere in the house. (Thanks, Dad.)I have scanned a few of these pictures. Unfortunately, I didn't have digital camera at the time and had only a

I will be sending the first set of cranes to TPTB in Los Angeles real soon. There are a few details that have to be settled. I will take pictures of the package that is being sent and they will be posted on here. If you are not aware, Smallville had been renewed for a seventh season starting this fall. In addition, the writers/TPTB have already started working on Season 7. For those who have

I apologize for being M.I.A. I have been preoccupied with writing papers and preparing for presentations. Nevertheless, I will be finishing up school next Friday, so after that, I'll have more free time to complete the Smallville phase of the Project. As it was stated originally, the deadline for this campaign is around June/July and the campaign is still on track to meet it. I will address

I will dedicate 33 of the peace cranes in memoriam of those killed in Monday's shootings at Virginia Tech. These cranes will be in the school's colors of maroon and orange.Though not needed, you can offer a message or prayer to attached to these cranes. They can be posted on this thread or via e-mail.I hope that we begin to move more proactively about improving campus security and preparedness

To the families and friends of the 33 slain in today's deadly shooting on the Virginia Tech campus and the 37 killed and hundreds wounded by last week's bombing of the Iraqi Parliament.It is because of these incidents that we start to question whether we will ever find lasting security, stability, and ultimately peace in this world. Peace isn't simply the absence of violence. The causes of

Anyway, it has been a little slow getting wishes from people, so here are some options for fans to get their input into this campaign. I hope to see you participate!You can include with your responses your name or online alias and location.Please note that you don't have to do all options, nor do you have to do Clois AND Lexana.

I know those who are spoiled are having a hard time wrapping our minds around what's being released in the media right now. I'll admit that I'm having difficulty myself, but this campaign is not going to give up.If things come to be just like the slowly emerging details are portraying, then let's TPTB know that they dropped the ball on this one. I am speaking for Lexana here when I say that if

"1000 cranes, 1000 wishes, 1000 words, 1000 dollars."This, right here, is our campaign, The Tsuru Project. I want to thank Luke, who is always with ideas, for the tagline.I hope this provides us a more concrete focus of what we are doing here with The Tsuru Project. At campaign's end, we will have sent 1000 cranes with 1000 implicit/explicit wishes in 1000s of words, and raised 1000 dollars to

I know my fellow spoiler junkies must have gotten the news by now. Regardless, this campaign will move one. Let's finish the cranes and wishes and send them to TPTB and Japan. We'll finish what was started.In the near future, I have some plans to continue this project even when the show goes off air, and I hope some of you will stay on to help continue and expand the mission of this project.

Want to portray your wish visually? I know there are some people who would rather graphically express themselves, such as in a fan art, rather than in words. If you are one these people, be sure to stop by here in the next couple of days to see if how you can do so. Get those digital palettes fired up. :)

“For there to be peace among nations, there must also be peace within them, among groups and individuals. The UN Charter says ‘Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defence of peace must be constructed.’ All of us, young and old, rich and poor, governments and civil society alike, must do our part. Let us now pool our efforts and make good on its great potential

In the past week, I have received notice of people interested in making cranes. If you are making cranes, please let me know that you are and the number of cranes you have made or plan to make. Either reply to this post or e-mail me at temk4good@yahoo.com. This is so I can include your cranes in the totals.I am also in the process of getting addresses where we will send these cranes.Trisha

Hello, everyone!It's nice to see the wishes for the show trickling in.I also want to remind you about lending your names for the peace cranes, and if you wish, you can post a brief note to accompany the cranes on the blog. The campaign has a dual purpose, and while the SV aspect of the campaign is an urgent matter, the peace aspect of it is just as vital and exigent. I hope this is a reminder

Okay, guys, let's get going.As I have mentioned in a couple of places, I am not sure if this will change TPTB's mind, but it doesn't hurt in trying. Remember, it's our show too, and we should be heard as well.Advertising banners will be forthcoming in the next day or two. Start putting up this link anywhere you can.

In addition to sending cranes with our wishes to Smallville TPTB, we will be sending cranes to the Children's Peace Monument in Japan's Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. The cranes will be accompanied with a dedication, a wish for peace.The dedication:A world without fear is a world in peace. Fear is an inescapable element of the human condition. Such as it is that one’s security becomes another’

I started the Tsuru Project in 2005 in which the goal was to send 1000 paper cranes to TPTB. According to Japanese lore, when one makes 1000 paper cranes, his/her wish is granted. As a Lexana fan, naturally, my wish was to have TPTB give Lex and Lana their story. As of now, I have only sent Al and Miles 307 cranes, with 300 cranes sent to them in January 2006.Lex and Lana finally came into
