Humanitarian Crises - bone preview installation in New Mexico

The newest Students Rebuild challenge, One Million Bones, invites you to take a collective stand against humanitarian crises by making a bone—out of material you choose—as part of a participatory arts project to cover the National Mall in Washington, D.C. with 1,000,000 handmade bones. This simple gesture of unity and hope will have a powerful visual impact, generate critical funds, raise awareness, and help rebuild lives in Somalia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

These handmade bones can help raise $500,000! Each handmade bone will generate $1 in matching funds from the Bezos Family Foundation for CARE International, a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty—up to $500,000. And, throughout this school year, A Path Forward will also offer students a way to connect directly with relief workers on the ground, their peers in Somalia and the DRC, and other challenge participants through live webcasts, video conferences, field blogs and more.

This video, produced by One Million Bones, offers a snapshot of the 50,000 bone preview installation in Albuquerque, New Mexico, that brought together a community on August 27, 2011.

What is the name of the background music? Is it a separate song or was it made for the video?

[StudentsRebuild]

Sorry for the delayed response...we had to track down the video producer to find out. The song is by Chaz Knapp.
