It’s Good to Be Home! ALIV and Western Air Bring Bahamian Students Home for the Holidays

We are proud to partner with Western Air to bring Bahamian students studying abroad back home for the holidays, reconnecting them with family, friends and loved ones. 

College students living in Florida were invited to participate in our “It’s Good to Be Home” contest by creating imaginative videos, showcasing why it’s good to be home for the holidays. As part of our It’s Good to Be ALIV campaign, this initiative highlights and celebrated the deep connections within our culture-from family and food to uniquely Bahamian holiday traditions–shining a spotlight on Bahamian pride for the world to see. 

Three lucky students were all smiles as they exited the airport and were welcomed by ALIV staff and complimentary transportation. Sasha Wells, Nicholas Strachan and A’nya Edwards-Toote were selected for their heartfelt videos, each receiving complimentary roundtrip tickets, local transportation, an ALIV eSim with an unlimited plan and Junkanoo tickets. 

A’nya Edwards-Toote, Grand Bahama native, shared her joy as a long time ALIV customer. “I just like the way the plans work. I got this free trip. A good experience. It was amazing. The competition was fun—every part of it. I love to be ALIV.” Amber Carey , Vice President of Marketing and Consumer Solutions shared her sentiments about the team’s homecoming initiative. “Keeping loved ones connected is what ALIV is all about. But our collaboration with Western Air is just the beginning of what we are giving back this season.” 

At ALIV, we are counting down the days to Christmas, surprising our customers with over $60,000 in prizes – from TVs to new devices! Every active ALIV customer is eligible to win, with winners selected daily through random drawings featured on our social media stories.

“Our annual 12 Days of Christmas giveaway is the culmination of our holiday give-back initiative," said Carey. "It’s our way of showing appreciation for our customers’ support and letting them know that we’re equally invested in their satisfaction.”
