Students Rebuild: Humanitarian Crises--A Path Forward is a joint initiative between One Million Bones, the Bezos Family Foundation, CARE and Global Nomads Group.
One Million Bones is a large-scale social arts practice. Through education and hands-on art making, One Million Bones aims to raise awareness of mass atrocities going on around the world this very day. The one million bones collected from across the country and installed on the National Mall offer a visible petition, to remember victims and survivors, to bring awareness to the issue and to call upon our government to take much needed and long overdue action. Learn more at One Million Bones.
