This May 2013, Kultura Filipino celebrates three years of having Crafts for a Cause with new products and new partners.
Crafts for a Cause was able to bring together different products coming from livelihood programs of the non-profit organization partners. Through the training and help of various foundations, the products made by the marginalized and underprivileged members of the society have found their way to the hands of buyers who purchase these.
Photos of the products featured in Crafts for a Cause:
Kabalikat sa Kaunlaran ng Baseco
Life Project for Youth
Circle of Friends Foundation
Zonta ladies and their bag products
Berdesaco Bags
Bags made from newspapers
Bags from products using doy packs
Bags with soda can pop top lids
Crafts for a Cause began with 16 pioneering foundations with products from as far as the Cordillera region to the south in Basilan. For its third year, Kamay Crafts Foundation, the Paper for Now Foundation and the Circle of Friends Foundation are Crafts for a Cause’s newest partners.
Mini cupcakes. So what?
These are special though, served for the customers of a bank that I go to. There are two baskets in the bank that contains red sweets: candies, even chips, and gums. These were served during Valentine’s Day.
Now that is good customer relations for me.
Add to the fact that they have a table with hot water and different kinds of tea for their customers. I am not sure though if all branches of Unionbank has this but the branch I go to, Unionbank Congressional Avenue has these things.
And we don’t stand in line because we have numbers.
Service time is now faster unlike before it takes me more than half an hour to wait to be served for a transaction that is done within 3 minutes.
During the Christmas season, I enjoyed watching lights show than fireworks display. I am not sure though if this comes with age, lol. Or maybe because I am more concerned with the effects of fireworks in the environment that have me pick another option.
Last Christmas season’s Light Show at TriNoma was a hit with the kids, We even had to delay eating our dinner just so the kids can watch again. I’m sure others won’t mind hauling big, bulky and nor necessarily cheap musical instruments to and fro the area if they were asked to play live music.
