EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from circa 1914, a group of Barnardo's emigrant children are seen diligently repairing a fence in Canada. The children, clad in simple clothing and wearing hats to shield them from the sun, work together to mend the damaged sections of the fence. A horse and wagon, laden with lengths of timber, stand nearby, suggesting that the materials for the repair have been recently delivered. Barnardo's, also known as Dr. Barnardo's Homes or simply Barnardo's, is a renowned children's charity based in the United Kingdom, which was founded by Dr. Thomas Barnardo in 1866. The organization began sending children to Canada in 1872 as part of its emigration program, with the aim of providing them with a better life and opportunities for a brighter future. The children in the photograph appear to be focused and determined, working in unison to complete the task at hand. Their youthful energy and resilience are evident, as they take pride in their work and contribute to the upkeep of their new community. The horse and wagon, a common mode of transportation during this era, add to the authenticity of the scene and underscore the historical context of the image. This photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the daily lives of Barnardo's emigrant children in Canada, as they adapt to their new surroundings and learn valuable skills that will serve them well in their future endeavors. The repair of the fence is a testament to their resourcefulness and determination, as well as their commitment to building a strong and self-sufficient community.
