LifeSari Bari Private Limited is

thankful for consistent growth

of more than 30% per year over

the last 3 years. We continue

to grow and expand, building

capacity and infrastructure

so that we can provide more

women with opportunities for

employment and employment

in 2014.

BusinessWe look with anticipation into

2014, which surely holds some

unexpected gifts and some

random pieces that will hold no

meaning until they are pieced

together to again form another

tapestry of value and beauty.

We will open our 4th Sari Bari

Production Unit and hope

to open our 2nd Trafcking

Prevention Unit by the end of

2014.

Future

The story of Sari Bari in 2013 has been stitched together like a patchwork

quilt. We have taken all the pieces and parts that didnt make sense

separately and deliberately joined them to create a bigger experience, a

clearer understanding of the whole, and as we step back, we experience a

moment of breathtaking awe at how it has all come together so beautifully.

We celebrate that 32 new women have entered through our doors

for training, and 25 have made it to graduation. We celebrate 244.6

cumulative years of freedom. We celebrate the growth in website sales

and the continued growth of Sari Bari Private Limited in India, through which

114 families are supported. We celebrate big raises, annual bonuses, our

Annual Retreat, and a special Christmas celebration. We celebrate that

the journery of each woman at Sari Bari is at once deeply personal and

also shared by the Sari Bari community.

This year we have also experienced profound loss, as two of the Sari

Bari women passed away due to illnesses. Additionally we lost two staff

members as they made the choice to move on to other dreams and

pursuits. We have stumbled through cash fow and production problems,

but with some serious intention and hard work we found our way through.

We showed up everyday and did the hard work of stitching with our hands

as we sought freedom in our hearts.

We are thankful to share the patchwork of our 2013 story. We hope you can

celebrate with us as you read our Annual Report.For Freedom,

Brooke Taylor is our Choto

Kookie as she was affectionately

named (it means little girl) by one

of the women at Sari Bari. She

shared life with us at Sari Bari for

over 2 years, and we are deeply

thankful for her service among

us. She married her best friend

on January 11, 2014, and we

celebrate with her as she begins

a new kind of journey.

For all the abuse, all the anger, all the [crises]

of faith, questions, brokenness, death, and

depression I sit here tonight, four days

before I depart this countrythankfulso

incredibly thankful.

I sit in awe at the love I have received and

the love I have learned resides within.

Kolkata has been to me a mirror, a black

hole, a cup of suffering and celebration. I

have held and toasted and drank

I have learned how to cry here, how to bury

ones I didnt know how to live without

how to give news to those Id never want

to hurtIve heard thousands of stories, a

majority of which may never be repeated,

and I hold each one as a treasure, as my

pearl of great price. The women of Sari

Bari are lodged in my chest, never to be

removed. They have saved me, they have

revived me, they have cut my heart in

can mean, what sisterhood can mean, what

I carry shards of my community within...

memories, wounds, and the gift of being

known. I understand grace because of them;

I understand my effect on others and who I

am more deeply because of those who have

walked so closely with me.

I fell in love here. And my heart will not

possibly be the same.

And to my sistersin brothels just a few alleysdownI do not forget my times with you.

Nor the reason I took up this ght. May my

feet not rest till many more of you know the

taste of freedom, value, and safetymay

someday, when all is said and done, you

know that someone cried for you, thought

of you, spoke your name

in love, and [dreamt] of

you. May you know you are

not alone in this world that

seems so one sided and

unfair.

To my family at Sari Bari

thank you for showing me

that the God I followed

Voices ForHope

[Blog Series]

2013: Making Hope Tangible

I have found that when we form

communities of love based on healing and

allowing women opportunities to grow

into who they were created to be, Hope

is restored. What better place to form

these communities than within a business?Business offers us a chance to be in

relationship with each other and inuence

not only the people we work with, but our

communities and world as well.

Jul 15

Kristen Keen, rethreaded.com

The 2013 Voices for Hope Blog Series

featured some signicant voices

reecting on how hope tangibly

expresses itself in the communities

they are a part of. Here are some

excerpts:

To create change and bring hope, I realize cannot

be done according to how it ts the giver. It

akes the act of sticking around. It takes time to

understand, to measure, to know. Sari Bari planted

itself] in Kolkata and stuck around. Tangible hope

comes from making oneself available in spirit,

mind, and body. Its a commitment that takes time

o see people to the [depths] of their souls. It is

aking them by the hand and showing them that

hope isindeed attainable.

Nov 4

Calvina Nguyen, calvinaphotography.com

Freeset is far from the perfect community.

Were a bunch of imperfect people, with

more joining the community all the time. As

we journey we make lots of mistakes along

the way. There are lots of freedom stories

to celebrate, but if were honest, theresjust as many to weep about too. There are

times [when] we do both at the same time.

Oct 21

Kerry Hilton, freesetglobal.com

I get a little itchy when I hear people talk-

ing about hope too much, when its adver-

tised broadly or programmed en masse.

Im suspicious of initiatives for hope. To me,

institutions take the magic and mystery out

of it. Thats why I love Sari Bari. Its not an in -

stitution. Its gritty. Its touchable. Its about

the people. The Sari Bari brand of hope is

for anyone who wants or needs it. Whether

you live in a red light district or not, you can

nd a good dose of hope there.

She never got to be a child.

She spent her teens tending

to her mother as she died,

running back and forth be-

ween her full time job and the hos-

pital. Even now in her early 20s, she

ends for herself in a way that is very

a-cultural. She works full time. She

pays her own rent.

rom my somewhat removed position, I judge

whats left of her family. They are manipulative (Ideclare). They only want what they can get out

of her (I surmise). How can they be so consumed

with their own desires that they use her like that (I

udge)? In her short life she has experienced more

expectation, anger, judgement, manipulation,

injustice, sickness,

and heartbreak

than anyone ever

should.

She is strong and mostly silent. Shes the aloof

sort of cool. That person that you want to like

you (ya know what I mean?). Because you

want to know her and be counted among

the short list of people she trusts. For a thou-

sand reasons you want to know her, and

for no other reason than because it seems

impossible.

And then I nd myself sitting next to her hos-

pital bed. On day one Im full of questions

and conicting emotions. By day 5 shes do-

ing remarkably better. She is receiving great

treatment and is slowly getting better.

And slowly the armor comes off. The thick

shield she wears around her heart. The de-

fense that she has used for 20 years to keep

the worst of the heartache at bay, it is melt-

ing away. And I see her.

I see the talkitive teenager that she never

got to be. I see the pride that she keeps

buried. I see how successful and creative

and entrepreneurial she is. I catch a glimpse

of what lies inside of her. I catch a glimpse of

the bright future that I fully believe is hers. For

a sacred and beautiful hour, as I sit by her

hospital bed I catch a glimpse.

And I breathe it in deeply

Breathe it inReection byMelissa Hayward

of where she is from - the red

light area. For this reason, her

son does not wish to have a

relationship with her.

After many years, Shanali was

nally able to meet with her

son and her granddaughter.

This was a simple and small

gift of grace. But it is only a

drop in the desert of longing

for Shanali. Though she is

free from having to sell her

body, she remains bound by

the past, by someone elses

choice to sell her at age13

into the trade. She is yet to

be invited by her family to

be free from her past. It is not

nished.

The unnished story begs for an

ending that is clean, but for now,

and at least in the Sari Bari story,

it remains every inch unnished.

Many, many women have found

freedom through employment

and have had the opportunity

for self rescue by making another

choice for work.

And that is just the beginning of

a new chapter in a story that has

been fraught with danger, harm,

and devastation. It will take quite

a long time to resolve those

rst chapters, 41+41even with

radical epiphanies, drama

changes, and new directio

Truly a lot remains unresolv

of our stories.

Unnished stories are wher

Shankarit is gracious and

giving of her heart as few are

anywhere in the world.

At 12 she was raped by a man

whose house she had been

sent to clean. He then sold her

nto the sex trade to cover his

tracks, and that is where she

remained for more than 25

years - until she came to Sari

Bari. In those 25 years, she was

able to save money and buy

and. In fact, she baught land

three times, and each time

a family member with village

support threw her off her

own land because she was a

bad woman. One time she

was literally stoned out of the

village.

As we hear these stories we

cannot help but mourn thatt is still not nished. And we

cannot help but celebrate

that every year, everyday in

fact, we see Gods grace and

provision poured out for the

women of Sari Bari.

Shankarit*

Shanali left the line 7 years

ago and never looked back.

She was sold as a young

teenager and later found

independence by marrying a

good man. They had a child

together, but her husband

took their son to his family

home in the village, and

their son was raised with little

contact with Shanali. If her

son was sick, the family in the

village would send for money,

and her husband, who was

often out of work, would tell

her, our son is sick, and there

is no money for medicine. So

Shanali would go out and sell

her body, trading her body

and soul for a few rupees,

with which she would buy

medicine for her son.

Shanali has pleaded to be

able to see her son and care
