Christmas Cards
October 19 - December 25, 2002

Building on the previous year's success, Bukas Sarili began its 2nd Christmas Cards project with high hopes of selling 20,000 cards - 13,500 more than its 1st year venture. The Foundation's approach was two-fold, augmenting last year's individual packs selling with corporate cards. 2002's offering consisted of 10 beautifully designed cards by volunteer artists Ray Alimurung (Candle, Manger-graphic art, Parols and Angels), Oliver Isabedra (Jesus, Mary and Joseph and Carolling), Paolo Lim (Church), Noel Perlas (Nativity, Simbang Gabi), and Stephen Lim (Manger-painting). Bulk orders allowed companies and individuals to select the designs they preferred; individual packs contained all 10 designs bearing the message "Wishing you a blessed Christmas and a prosperous New Year!" and sold for P250.

Beginning with the launching of the 1st set of cards on Oct 19, the same day as the Foundation hosted Angels bazaar, until Christmas eve, the Foundation sold more than 18,500 cards! While slightly below the initial target, it was nevertheless an amazing achievement-a testament to the dedication of the members.

Many thanks to the organizing team-Criselle Panlilio, Timi Gomez, Pilar Estrada, Mari Swa, Avi Lim, Arra Manuel and yours truly-who spent countless hours planning, printing and selling the cards and to the members and friends of Bukas Sarili who gave of their time and effort to make this project a huge success-Margo Flores, Tintin Montinola, Shasha Sy, Ray Alimurung, Tess Sulit and the many others.
