Hi guys. Every year my church does this thing called Operation Christmas Child. It is an organization where you send a shoebox full of stuff like clothes, crayons, toys, and other such things to children who are poor orphans across the world. These are children who don’t get anything for Christmas. Our church sends nearly 200 boxes a year for Christmas to them. I though why not send music. It is a universal gift that all people enjoy, especially children who have nothing, and I could put a whistle in each box, so every child could get a whistle.
The reason I am writing this is because I am asking for some cheap whistle donations. If somebody has a Feadog or Clarke they don’t play anymore, or any cheap whistle will do. It is just one whistle that can really change the life of a child. Music could cheer them up in their time of distress. I am going to buy a thing on ebay, where it is a whole box full of whistles, I think the box has 32 in it http://cgi.ebay.ie/Tin-Whistle-Clare-32-peices-key-D-Brass-Made-in-Ireland_W0QQitemZ190314311601QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Woodwind_Instruments?hash=item2c4f9defb1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14. If anybody is interested in donating a whistle for this, please let me know. Around early December is when we ship the boxes off to the other countries.
I just want to let people know that this isn’t a scam. People who know me here would know I would never do this as some sort of scam. These whistles will really go to a child in need.
Thanks,
Jon
