G&G in Metro Magazine October 2011 issue

The October 2011 issue was Metro Society's Advocacy Issue. Much of the issue was devoted to different advocates and their causes. We are proud to say that G&G was featured here twice!

On page 122, Associate Beauty Editor Marichelle Ligon and Photographer Tinee de Guzman wrote about Gifts and Graces and "a graceful partnership between entrepreneurs and local communities. . ." The article featured the different G&G products photographed in our showroom including modern Filipino foldable overnight bags with native woven cloth accents, picnic baskets made out of directory pages, stuffed toys made out of high end upholstery retaso and many more.

On page 151, Metro Society asks "If you could change the world. . ." and talks to people and corporations who, insteadof waiting for others to fix it, lend a hand and even help other change the world. This section features Gifts and Graces once more. This time Associate Features Editor Lexi Schulze and Photographer Pat Mateo captured the Gifts and Graces social entrepreneurs together with more G&G products - agate bag charms, luggage tags, and our very popular handpainted newspaper bags.

In line with this article, Lexi talked to different G&G board members. Read our other blog post featuring Lexi's conversation with Sandy Romualdez.

We'd like to give special thanks to Editor-in-Chief Raul Manzano who in his Editor's letter said

          "Gifts and Graces operates on a smaller scale (as PBSP), yet it is just as important. Established some five years ago to help poor communities. . .by producing crafts for the home, accessories, toys,. . .Gifts and Graces not only gives these communities steady income, but more importantly, a reason to hold their heads high and be proud, functioning members of society."

And this reflects how we feel about our partners as well, we are proud with how far they've come and we are happy to be part of their journey towards breaking the cycle of poverty.

Thanks again to Raul, Marichelle, Lexi, and the team at Metro Society for believing in Gifts and Graces and helping us promote our cause! Cheers!
