On Saturday, 17 May at 6pm, In Touch Community Services is holding an Oriental Carpet Auction at the Bahia on the 14th floor of the InterContinental Hotel on Ayala, Makati. This is an event they do twice a year to raise funds for the community services of In Touch, such as the free and confidential psychological counseling helpline whose numbers appear on the left side of this page.

You’ll see dozens of gorgeous pieces from the weaving centers of the world, and get a chance to acquire them at prices lower than you can imagine. The auction is not only great fun, but you’ll come away feeling like an expert on the history and traditions of carpet-weaving.
For inquiries and ticket reservations, contact In Touch at (02)893-1893 or (02)810-6233, or email intouch@i-manila.com.ph. If you’re from a media organization and wish to cover the event, drop us a line in Comments or email saffron.safin@gmail.com.
