About Wednesday, and one of our heroes...

Hello friends,

Sorry to miss my Wednesday post -- sometimes things in the office just take over.  Today for example, the NM Forum for Youth in Community brought a group of Public Allies here for a training.  We talked for a while this morning about leadership, non profit work, genocide and making a difference, and now they're making bones. There's lots of laughing and talking going on. And there are lots of bones being made. It's the best kind of work we do!

Just so you know, Wednesday was One Million Bone's two year anniversary.  Yep that's right, on March 14th, 2010, we launched this wild vision into the world with an event at the Harwood Art Center.  150,000 bones later, we are making our way to Washington, D.C., and we are so happy YOU are on the road with us!

We also want to send a Friday shout-out to one of our heroes:  George Clooney.  He recently traveled to Sudan to bear witness to the crimes being committed against the people of South Kordofan and Blue Nile by the Sudaneses government, then he testified in front of Congress with John Prendergast, and now, bless his heart, he's gotten himself arrested in a protest in front of the Sudanese Embassay in Washington.  He walks the walk and we are grateful to him for using his celebrity for such important work.  Thank you, George Clooney, for all you've done to make a difference in Sudan up to now, and now.  And thank you to your remarkable dad too! 

Have a great weekend!
