STUDENTS REBUILD, ONE MILLION BONES AND CARE PARTNER TO RAISE GLOBAL AWARENESS AND FUNDING FOR CRISES IN SOMALIA AND THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO
“A Path Forward,” Culminating in Art Installation of One Million Handmade Bones on National Mall, Will Serve as Visible Petition to Resolve Widespread Suffering
Do you ever wonder what you can do to impact faraway problems? From intractable poverty and famine, to war and conflict, the portraits of human suffering we see in the news are staggering. Sobering. Too overwhelming to do anything? Not so.
Welcome to the newest Students Rebuild challenge, A Path Forward: a chance to take a collective stand against humanitarian crises by joining a participatory art installation in Washington, D.C. that will raise awareness and critical funds.
Students Rebuild has teamed-up with One Million Bones, a campaign to cover the National Mall in Washington, DC with 1,000,000 handmade bones in honor of lives lost and in solidarity with those who have survived mass conflict.
Those bones can be made and mailed in by you. And your friends. Make a bone for peace. Make a bone for hope and healing. Make a bone to show our connectedness.
Are you outside North America without the means to ship bones? The instillation will also include digital images of handmade bones and will culiminate in a book and a short film. Everyone will have the chance to contribute. For more information, visit www.studentsrebuild.org
