A journal  entry from the  creator of Falling Whistles….

“Each had been abducted.  Pluced from their homes, schools or farms. Each had been tied up and beaten. Each had been forced to kill…

…many of us have heard the stories of child-soldiers. Invisible Children and stories such as A Long Way Gone have granted us glimpses into their tortured lives.

I had heard. Known.cared. I had even reacted and raged. But when these boys told me of the whistle blowers, the horror grew feet and walked within me.

Captured by Nkunda’s rebel  army, some boys not big enough to hold a gun were given merely a whistle and put on the front lines of battle.

THEIR SOLE DUTY WAS TO MAKE ENOUGH NOISE TO SCARE THE ENEMY AND THEN TO RECEIVE – WITH THEIR BODIES – THE FIRST ROUND OF BULLETS.          Lines of boys fell as nothing more than a temporary barricade.

WITH FALLING WHISTLES, THEIR ONLY CHOICE IS TO GEIGN DEATH OR FACE IT.
