In the wake of the Haiyan Typhoon that happened recently in Philippines, I thought it was a good timing to blog on my trip to Manila recently (read part 1 here), and how like many organizations out there are helping Philippines, AirAsia is part of the generous organization too. And to remind myself what are truly beautiful country Philippine is, and how I cant wait to get back via AirAsia ofcourse :)

In July, AirAsia Foundation has chosen a Manila based company, RagsIIRiches for a yearly grant, for all 100 craftsmen to train.

All about crafting home deco and sought after bags, Rags2Riches has successfully transformed the lives of hundreds of artisans through its innovative approach, which combines ethical business and environmental issues. It is a business model of the future and through the grant, its aim is to not only help the business grow but also share its success story around the region.

Upon hearing the inspirational story on how the idea began and why, I truly LOVE that AirAsia Foundation supports RagsIIRiches. 

And as said earlier, because of the devastation by Haiyan Typhoon, AirAsia recently offered assistance to Philippines typhoon victims too. Which did not only include cash donations, but also free cargo space and free flights for NGOs/relief workers/humanitarian workers, and 250,000 free seats for Philippians to return home. Isnt that remarkable?

Dont forget to buy one and support the cause!


By having Rags2Riches products on AirAsia, the artisans will gain access to the ASEAN market through a new partnership with AirAsia Megastore that will see products from the artisans being sold on board its flights.

Through the grant, Rags2Riches receives $13,275 to fund the training of 100 new artisans to produce eco-ethical fashion and home accessories using upcycled scrap cloth, organic materials and indigenous fabrics. The artisans, who come mainly from underprivileged communities in the Philippines, will participate in skills upgrade, design improvement and knowledge exchange workshops at the Rags2Riches Artisan Academy over a 12-month period.

Astro Exclusive Preview Channels till 15 Feb 2014!


After a tiring day at work, there’s nothing more that I’d love to do at home than watching the good ol’ tv. Being online all the time does take its toll, so its great to unwind on a comfy sofa, coffee in one hand and the remote in the other hand.



What came as a surprise (a great surprise) is the Astro Exclusive Preview offers that have started until 15th of Feb '14.


Being a tv buff like me, this is awesome news. Just imagine all these are given at no extra cost for all Astro subscribers, Astro Family HD Pack channels, Astro Vinmeen HD, Fox Family Movies as well as One HD in both HD and SD (didnt I tell you this is AWESOME?)

And for those that are always on the go, there’s also Astro On-The-Go. At no added cost too, I can watch my fave programmes anytime & anywhere (grinning face)
 
One of channels I was eager to watch on the Astro Family Pack HD is the Life Inspired Channel (Channel 728). One particular programme struck gold with me, is the L.A Frock Stars. I love vintage, and only now with the Astro Exclusive Previews, I was aware of such show. Imagine an entire show on vintage clothes? It instantly became a fave of mine, and with the super HD quality, seeing gorgeous fabrics and inticate details has been a pleasure. But dont let me spoil the show for you, why dont you head over at channel 728 to see it for yourself, you’ll be hooked (like Iam now).

 Just a short summary of what other super offers Astro has with no added costs are 12 HD channels & 2 SD channels, so its One HD/SD with two channels HD Ch 393 & SD Ch 395), for movie lovers check Fox Family Movies at Ch 416 & SD Ch 415.
