Hello everyone! It’s that time again! It’s time to prepare for Lu Han’s birthday! He’ll be turning 24 this year, on April 20th which is a couple months away. It might seem like a long time, but with the Holidays coming up and many others, it’ll be passing by very quickly. This year, we have decided to make a very special gift for him. Remember last year’s birthday project? (View the album here.) Well, this one is very similar. We will be folding 1000 origami cranes for him, but on each slip of origami paper will be a message from a fan so that after a long, frustrating day, he can open one up and read your encouraging message! Why 1000 cranes? There is an ancient Japanese legend that folding 1000 cranes within one year will grant a wish. It's also seen as a symbol of hope during difficult times. The cranes will be a symbol for each international fan that participates in this project and will be the messenger that will show him how much we support him. ** Instead of stringing them together, like most people do, we will be keeping them as is so messages are not disturbed. Donating Donors of less than $10, will be able to write one extra message (two messages in total) after their donation is confirmed. Donors who donate $10 or more will have the ability to write two extra messages (three messages total)!  Please send all donations through paypal to [email protected]. After that, make sure to email to [email protected] with the subject ‘2014 Birthday: Donation’ and the following information: Name / LuhanWorld forum name (if you have one) / Paypal address / Amount Donated (in your native currency) / Message in Chinese or English (max 140 characters) All donors who include their address in the email will get a personalized thank you card from the LuhanWorld staff. Please Note: These donations will only go towards this project as we are not only sending cranes to him. We are also planning on sending him other merchandise depending on the amount of donations we have. Messages After sending us an e-mail about your donation, further information on the messages will be told to you. You may take some time to think of what to send after you donate. Just make sure to include your name in every email and send it before the deadline! As stated above, donors of less than $10, will get to send one extra message which results in 2 messages in total for that individual. Donors of $10 or higher will get to have two extra messages, which is 3 messages in total. There are 1,000 cranes to fill with messages, we are sure we have more than enough. If not, we'll have to stop after the 1,000th message and place the remaining messages in a book format. The message must fit on 2x2 origami paper, which is why we are limiting the amount you write to 140 characters. Something short, simple, yet encouraging will definitely put a smile on Lu Han's face. Some Helpful Chinese Phrases 加油！ = Chinese equivalent of ‘hwaiting’ 我会永远支持你！= ‘I will always support you!’ 你真的很MAN！= ‘You’re really manly!’ 我爱你 = ‘I love you’ 生日快乐！= ‘Happy birthday!’ Deadline Messages: March 1st, 2014 Donations: Midnight on March 30th, 2014 (EST)

Concealed cash will be accepted as well. Remember, when sending concealed cash and you're using a regular rectangular envelope, please cover the money in copy paper or newspaper so no one can see that there's money inside the envelope. If they see money in the envelope, chances are, they'll steal the money. Please be careful. I would suggest sending the money in a Fedex mailing envelope or any type of mailing envelope that is completely covered.
