Falling Whistles<\/a> is a movement that began with journalist Sean Carasso’s blog post about boys being sent to the frontlines of the war in Congo with only a whistle. Readers asked him how they could help. By designing a whistle you can wear around your neck, supporters can show solidarity and help fundraise, where “proceeds go to rehabilitate and advocate for war-affected children.” Now, the movement is touring the country<\/a>. Volunteers host “speakeasies” to spread awareness. Unpaid internships are coveted by motivated youth. Falling Whistles also just released two films that quickly communicate their message and leave you feeling wide-eyed.<\/p>\n
