CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -- A Clemson University group is using origami to help out in the aftermath of the Japanese tsunami.

A group called Acts of Campus Kindness is holding a daylong origami folding event Wednesday at R.M. Cooper Library. The event raises money for Architects for Humanity, an organization currently working to support rebuilding efforts in Japan.

Through the day, students can come by and make an origami crane. For each paper crane folded that day, Students Rebuild and DoSomething.org have agreed to donate $2 to Architects for Humanity.

Organizers say the event is part of undergraduate student government's first-ever week of service.
