This old-fashion whistle is a symbol of a worthy cause.

Falling Whistles is a nonprofit founded by Sean Carasso, after traveling to the Republic of Congo, and learning that young boys are sent to the frontlines of war armed with only a whistle. These boys are too small to carry guns, so they blow their whistles to scare off approaching enemies, only to become barriers for the first round of bullets.

Sean came up with the idea to make their weapon your voice and be a whistleblower for peace in Congo. All proceeds go towards supporting the rehabilitation and avocations of war-affected children.
