I got this shirt is 2001 (yes, it's 10 years old! isn't that amazing? it's been through so much with me!) at my CISV Summer Camp.
In 10th (I think?) grade Chemistry class, we did a Tie-Dye project and I took it in and tie-dyed it pink/blue. It was just plain old white before...boring right?!
And since then, it has been my favorite, most comfortable PJ shirt.
It reminds me of my sweet, wonderful friends from camp and the wonderful influence CISV has been in my life. It reminds me to reach out, make friends, love one another and that the smallest kindness can make a difference.
(Also, seriously, this shirt is so comfy I could wear it all the time.)
If you're not familiar with CISV, I suggest you read the lyrics to the CISV song below to get an idea of what an amazing organization it is:
Here in this village you may see
Children living happily
Different race and different land
Here we come to understand
One another's point of view
Learning through the things we do
How alike am I to you
Here we live and eat and sleep
Talk and laugh and sometimes weep
Here we share our hopes and fears
Build a bridge across the years
Sow a seed and plant a tree
Beneath whose branches there may be
All the nations gathered free
That our children so may grow
In a world we did not know
Sharing all they have to give
Learning how to love and live
In our hands the future lies
Seize the moment 'ere it flies
Stamp the present with an act
Dare to make our dream a fact
