Complimentary wine, VIB, and hors d'oeuvres will be available.Sean Carasso created Falling Whistles less than a year ago, after a journey to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo). He came across five young prisoners who told him the story of the whistleblowers. Abducted in Congo and too small to carry a gun, boys were given merely a whistle and sent to the front lines of battle. The sound of their whistles calling together was meant to frighten the enemy away. Failing that, their sole duty was to receive the bullets with their bodies.Considering the more than 6 million deaths attributed to the war and genocide currently happening in the Congo, this story has received little press coverage in the states. Please help us to raise awareness and resources to send aid to the unwilling victims of this war.Ty Clark
