A few of our latest PUNJAMMIE™ styles are block-printed by artisans in Andhra Pradesh. Recently West Elm filmed artisans in Rajasthan creating this fascinating art.

SAVE THE DATE: 2011 Fabric of Freedom Gala
Posted on Jun 09, 2011 | LEAVE A COMMENT
We could give you a few reasons why you should attend the 2011 Fabric of Freedom Gala, which would probably reference your big heart, commitment to the fight for freedom, and desire to meet others who are captivated by the same cause. Instead, we'll talk more about why you'll want to attend the IPP 2011 Fabric of Freedom Gala. There's no better place (in our humble opinions) to flex your philanthropic muscles while having a whole lot of fun. Last year, we had Bollywood dancers, henna artists, beautiful auction items donated by local businesses, the newest collection of PUNJAMMIES for sale, and opportunities to meet our Indian partners all in one beautiful, delicious evening.
Here are a few photos, taken by Ron Levy Photography:
Best of all, our generous guests donated enough funds to purchase a van for the ladies at our newest sewing center:
This year promises to be even better. Get your tickets ASAP -- we sold out last year, so get 'em while the gettin' is good.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Hi IPP Team, I've just been informed that the comments are not working on the blog right now, and it may take us a couple days to get to the bottom of the issue. I'll let you all know when we're up and running again. In the meantime, thanks for your patience, and for spreading the word about the giveaway. We'll probably extend the giveaway a few more days since we're having technological difficulties. Isn't technology great when it works? Love to you all.

Raiding a Brothel in India
Posted on May 27, 2011 | LEAVE A COMMENT
A New York Times columnist writes about his life-changing experience being part of an International Justice Mission brothel raid in Kolkata.
He writes, "I set off with the I.J.M. investigator (who wants to remain anonymous for his own safety) into the alleys of the Sonagachi red-light district one evening, slipped into the brothel, and climbed to the third floor. And there were Chutki and three other girls in a room, a pimp hovering over them. Perceiving us as potential customers, he offered them to us. We demurred but said we’d be back."
Though the rescuers only intended to take one girl, they ended up helping five young ladies -- two under the age of 10. Read the full article here.
