I feel so pieeilrgvd to have the opportunity to support this holy work by purchasing these lovely hand-bags for my daughter and me. And, what a wonderful way to educate her about the plight of the women in Sonagachi and the hope that is theirs through Sari Bari and our Lord.With every compliment for these charming objects comes the opening to tell the story of these brave and desperate women. We pray for them and those who fight for and alongside them in God's strength and power.
