Issue: Child Soldiers

This is a bit late notice, but I wanted to get this event up so you can be sure to check it out if you’re in the area. Should be lots of energy, as Sean Carasso and several others within Falling Whistles will be coming off of a momentous journey with the Rescue Riders of the Invisible Children crew.

Falling Whistles is a non-profit organization building a coalition in the west to enable an art therapy program in Eastern Congo dedicated to providing war affected children in the region with hope, as well as diplomatically developing long-term change in the region.
