But you can get in the on the next batch arriving on the 15th of December and get your blanket before christmas. Email melinda@saribari.com and ask her to put you on the list!!

Dear Friends of Sari Bari-

Thank you for your patience as you have waited and waited for blankets and continued to cheer us on through our long start-up phase! While we now have our website, it will be a few months yet before you are able to purchase blankets from the site. In the meantime, will are continuing to offer blankets for sale periodically via e-mail “catalogs”.

We realize that the demand for blankets far exceeds the supply we have right now so we apologize in advance if you are not able to get the blankets you are wanting for Christmas. It is likely that we will get one more large shipment in the middle of December so there may be one more opportunity to order before Christmas. (note–we will not have any bags available this Christmas, sorry!)

Take a look at the links below to see photos of blankets and then please follow the instructions at the bottom of this e-mail when placing your order. I will respond to e-mail orders in the order that they are received and do my best to update the album as items are sold. Please realize that the blanket you request may already be sold even if it is not marked. (your chances of securing a blanket are better if you e-mail me several choices or if you specify no preference and allow me to pick for you from blankets that are left).

This link contains pictures of our full sized throws. (If you’ve ordered before, this is the size blanket you got). They are 76-78″ long.– $58.00

This link contains pictures of small throws (just like the full size only a little shorter)– 72″ long– $48.00
and twin bed-sized blankets (2 photos marked twin at the end of the album)– $168.00

Please follow these instructions when placing your order:
1. Reply to this message to send me your preferences in order, or specify no preference if you’d like me to select for you. Please also include the address where you would like your blanket(s) shipped.
2. I will reply to your e-mail to confirm your order and give you your total. Please note that if you are ordering from TN or NE your total will include sales tax. Cost for shipping will also be included (for large and small throws, $7.00 for the first blanket and $6.00 for each additional). All orders will be shipped via USPS 2-day priority mail.
3. We are only able to receive payments by check at this time. After you have received your total, please make check payment to Word Made Flesh and send it promptly to Melinda Snader/Sari Bari Program Administrator 2555 Hale Ave. Memphis, TN 38112. Your blanket(s) will be shipped when your payment is received.

Thank you again for your faithful support of Sari Bari! We continue in this endeavor with joy and in hope for new life to be realized by the women of Kolkata’s red-light districts.

Blessings to you this Christmas season!

We just sent off a shipment to the states with our first twin size Sari Blankets. These will sell for $168.00 and a lighter weight than that a regular Sari Blanket. They are beautiful bedcovers. There will only be five available before Christmas so email Melinda if you are interested.

Thanks to Aunt Mary (everyone has one!) we were a hit a local school boutique with blankets and bags being sold out. We look forward to the day when supply can meet demand for all these amazing opportunites that keep coming our way. It means we can hire more ladies and more women can have freedom!!

If you live in the the United Kingdom, you can soon purchase a Sari Blanket! Visit http://www.freesetbags.co.uk/ and click on the Sari Blanket link for more information. Super exciting to have Sari Bari going international.

We are excited and surprised to see a little bit about Sari Bari published in HOW magazine.

The Sari Bari website officially launched today! Check it out! In six months you will be able to purchase sari bari products on the web!!

please visit www.saribari.com

Thanks for your continued prayers and support of our ladies on the road to freedom!
