One of my closest friends, Matt, came to visit earlier this week and as always was wearing his Falling Whistle. Matt is one of those people who probably knows at least 2 people you know; he is definitely a people person. He is one of the funniest people I have ever met and also one of the most caring and compassionate people I will probably ever have the pleasure of knowing. Matt was involved with Invisible Children and got involved with the Falling Whistles organization last year. The organization...
"gives a small window into our world’s largest war. Originally just a journal written about boys sent to the frontlines of war armed with only a whistle, readers forwarded it with the same kind of urgency in which it was written and demanded to know – what can we do? The Falling Whistles campaign launched with a simple response - make their weapon your voice and be a whistleblower for peace in Congo."
It's humbling; knowing that while I am wearing the whistle as an accessory, there are young boys that wear it as their only amour. If you have a few minutes today, take some time to look at both the Invisible Children and Falling Whistles organizations. Learn how you can make a difference in someone's life.
