Now available at HUB Clothing at Scottsdale Fashion Square, Falling Whistles is a line of necklace whistles memorializing the child soldiers of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Inspired by a fact-finding trip by two Americans, these whistles represent the untold numbers of kids who are among the five million who have been killed in Congo’s long-running civil war. Called whistle-blowers, some of these tiny warriors are too small to even carry a gun, and are forced to the frontlines armed with nothing more than a whistle and used as human shields for the older fighters.

Hanging just over the heart, these gunmetal gray Falling Whistles retail for $44, with proceeds going to restore the lives of war-affected children in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Great gift or “piece for peace”. Learn more at www.fallingwhistles.com.
