A delightful surprise has landed in our post box - an envelope containing seven folded cranes and a letter reading:

To Whom it May Concern:
As part of a project for a class at a college in Colorado, I taught everyone
how to make paper cranes.
Upon reading information on your project, we decided to send the cranes to you.
Please accept these cranes as a symbol of peace from Colorado.
                                                                                    Very truly yours -
                                                                                    A Humanities class in Colorado

Thank you to the anonymous folders from Colorado for this random act of kindness.

Can you think of someone whose day would be brightened by receiving a few folded cranes in the mail?
