The Holidays are a time not only to give thanks for all the amazing things you have in your life, but also a time to give back to those in need.

Fallen Whistles is a campaign for peace in the Congo. In the past decade, over six million people have died in the war over Congo’s natural resources. Unstable government, local rivalries and international interest in the region’s resources all contribute to the tension and complexity of the issue. Sexual violence is rampant, many children have lost their parents and others are taken as prisoners and forced to fight. The children that are lucky enough to escape are fragile, scared and in desperate need of our help.
