Rain Tees Review

The word “Andira” describes a tall tree that grows in the Brazilian Amazon and has been been used for centuries by indigenous people  for its medicinal properties.
Andira noun : 1.  Andira retusa, a Brazilian tree species. Has purple flowers, and a slight aroma of oranges.
However, due to logging and deforestation, the species has been vastly devastated.
Beth Doane is the Founder & Designer, The Andira Rain-Tee Collection



Andira donated school supplies to the children and asked them to illustrate what they see happening in their world every day. Each Rain Tee features their thoughts illustrations and names.
For every Rain tee sold, a child involved in Kids Saving the Rain Forest, Costa Rica will receive a tree they can plant to replace one that has been destroyed.

About the shirt I got.
HUMMINGBIRD - Over 300 species of hummingbirds live in Central and South America and scientists predict there are still many species that have yet to be discovered. The Hummingbird Rain Tee was designed by Luiz Alvarajo. Because hummingbirds use so much energy beating their wings up to 100 times per second, they must consume several times their body weight in nectar each day. Luiz illustrates an Amazon Hummingbird doing just that.
I love shirts with messages and this line of clothes  has the strongest message I have seen.
