Congo is home to our world's deadliest war. Sean will break down the current conflict, but instead of focusing on stories of violence, he will illuminate a Congo you don't hear about: a country of incredible economic potential, a people capable of lasting peace. Sean will be the first to tell you: Falling Whistles is not a charity. It's about solidarity. What's the difference? According to Sean, it's difference between "window dressing" and long-term solutions, he will explain why his organization's unorthodox approach to foreign aid is the future of peace building.
Every person has the power to change the world, and they can start today. Sean built the Falling Whistles mission on a legacy of whistleblowers, those that spoke against injustice before they had all the answers. By sharing stories of his own successes and failures, in the grounding context of the history of social change, Sean shows that peace in Congo is possible, that all great dreams -• when given proper infrastructure and imagination -• are possible.
Sean shares the wild stories and lessons learned from making something out of nothing. He returned from the Democratic Republic of Congo with no home, no office and no plan -• just $5 and a dream worth his everything: peace in Congo. He found others who shared his dream and together they pulled desks out of dumpsters, put them in a garage in Venice, California, and launched a campaign toward a goal most called impossible. Three years later his organization is investing in eight Congolese whistleblowers and building a coalition for peace that includes 50,000 whistleblowers, 200 retailers, 77 organizations, 35 Congressmen and 16 Senators. Money is no replacement for passion and will. His story proves anything is possible.
