Whistleblower.

I bought a whistle yesterday to become a Whistleblower for Peace.

If you haven't heard of this, Falling Whistles is a non-profit organization fighting to end war in Congo. It all started with a journal entry and the newfound knowledge that children are abducted and forced to fight. And not only that: the ones too young and small to carry and operate a gun are given only a whistle and sent to the front lines of battle. Their sole responsibility is to use that whistle to make enough noise to scare away the enemy. If they don't succeed, they are the ones hit with the first round of bullets. They are the sacrifice for the rest of the army.

Basically, blow this whistle until you die.

So, from this the idea was born that "Their weapon could be our voice." Whistles are sold online or at retail stores including Lolabella and JMR. 100% of the proceeds go to help rehabilitate and educate the children that have escaped from the war. The question is, can this little whistle be the symbol that helps end war in Congo? Buy a whistle and spread the word.
