Why the Students Rebuild Challenge A Path Forward is SO important...
Wednesday, November 2, 2011 at 5:23PM We've been telling you about this great new partnership that we have with Students Rebuild, the Bezos Family Foundation and CARE, and the truth is we are excited about it for a lot of reasons. We get to reach out to and interact with students and educators from around the world, we get to work with really great organizations as partners, we're all together making a difference through our actions and through the generous financial inccentive that comes as part of every individual's participation in the challenge.
And here's why that last piece is so important. There are so many governments and groups tossing around the number 750,000. That's how many people are considered at risk of dying in Somalia in the next 3 months.
This article is long, but please read it. Every word. And then tell people about the Students Rebuild challenge, and ask them to register, and ask them to make bones. Because doing this will make a difference. Think about it, one click of a link to register, one hour to plan an event, one hour to be part of the event making bones, and you will be making a difference in the lives of one or some of those 750,000 people.
And then, when those bones go to the national mall, you will see what you've done, what you're part of.
That's what we at One Million Bones think of as the new face of art and activism. Help us do it.

That's exactly how we're going to make this happen, by people passing the message along!
