We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on August 23, 2011.

We've got a new video for you!

Update #2 · Jul 19, 2011 · comment

Hi friends!

This past week we've been working on a new video especially for this Kickstarter campaign. All of the staff are featured, our National Liaison, Kathleen, did the editing and we are thrilled to share it with you! It's posted here on our page so take a minute to take a look.  And please, share it with people.  We still have a way to go to reach our goal but we know we can make it with your help. 

And, tomorrow, we'll post our bloopers reel on youtube so you can check that out for a laugh. Sometimes the weight of the work we do is unbelievably heavy; genocide and the suffering of so many millions of people is one of the saddest things most of us can imagine.  But our OMB staff manages to find moments of joy and laughter because we think we're helping to make a difference. So watch the blooper reel and share a laugh with us, but be sure to spread the word about what we're doing.

The time for action and awareness is now! For Sudan and South Sudan, for Congo with elections coming up and for Burma with the recent freedom of Aung San Suu Kyi the world has a chance to help turn those hopeful steps into leaps. Our 50,000 Bones Installation is vital right now to keep awareness up, and this Kickstarter campaign is imperative to make the installation happen. We need you to help make a difference, too!

In solidarity and with great appreciation,

Naomi, Susan, Isa, Katie and the OMB team
