EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a moment in the lives of Barnardo's emigrant children outside a country school in Canada, circa 1914. Barnardo's, a leading children's charity based in the United Kingdom, began sending children to Canada in 1872 as part of its program to provide care and opportunities for disadvantaged and orphaned youth. The children in the photograph, dressed in their simple yet practical school uniforms, are seen huddled together, their faces filled with a mix of excitement and apprehension as they take a break from their lessons. The school, a modest wooden building with a red roof and a large chimney, stands in the background, a symbol of the education and opportunities that awaited them. The Barnardo's emigration program was a significant undertaking, with thousands of children making the journey across the Atlantic Ocean to start new lives in Canada. The children were typically between the ages of five and fifteen and came from various backgrounds, including orphanages, workhouses, and other institutions. The program provided the children with a fresh start, offering them a chance to receive an education, learn new skills, and build a better future. Many went on to become farmers, tradespeople, and even professionals, contributing to their new communities and forging new lives for themselves. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and opportunities that defined the Barnardo's emigration program, a testament to the resilience and determination of the children who participated in it, and a tribute to the charity's enduring legacy in the lives of countless young people.
