Tee-shirts for Peace
"Tee-shirts for Peace" was founded in 2005 by Joy Regina Melchezidek. Joy's intention was to gently raise global awareness, as well as to give children a voice. Her vision started with infant tee-shirts with glitter sayings like, "We are all One" on the front, and glitter wings on the back. Jen Brezler a gifted artist, began hand painting each tee with Joy's vision. They began to sell and the vision took form. That same year a bombing at a day care center in Russia brought the urgency of global gifting to Joy's attention. In the past five years, along with sales to customers in the USA, our tees have been gifted to 27 countries.
In 2009, after consulting with Flo Aeveia Magdalena the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Soul Support Systems, "Tee-shirts for Peace" became an Umbrella Organization of Soul Support Systems, a 501c3 non profit organization. As a result of this expansion we now offer more products and services that focus on the holistic well being of children. We include information and resources for victims of violence and for perpetrators who are ready to stop acting out in violence.
We send our heartfelt gratitude to our children for being all they are, and for inspiring us to co-create a world were peace is a way of life. To all of you who have chosen to "live the dream" we thank you for your commitment and for being an example for others. We send the peace that surpasses all understanding to all of you. .
