EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of transformation and new beginnings for a young emigrant from the National Children's Home (NCH) in England as he operates a horse-drawn plough in his new home in Canada. The National Children's Home, founded in 1881, was a leading children's charity in the United Kingdom that provided care and education for orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children. In an effort to provide these children with better opportunities and a fresh start, the organization facilitated their emigration to Canada. The image shows a determined and focused boy, dressed in simple work clothes, harnessing the power of the horse to plough the fertile Canadian soil. The horse, with its powerful muscles and steady gaze, mirrors the resilience and determination of the young boy. The vast, open landscape stretches out behind them, symbolizing the endless possibilities that awaited these children in their new home. The National Children's Home's emigration program, which began in 1891, sent over 3,000 children to Canada between 1891 and 1939. The children were placed with Canadian families or in institutions, where they were provided with an education, training, and the opportunity to build a better life for themselves. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of these children, who left behind their familiar surroundings and embarked on a new journey to build a better future. The National Children's Home's legacy continues to be felt in Canada today, with many of the children who were sent to Canada going on to make significant contributions to their new home. This photograph is a testament to the power of care, education, and opportunity to transform the lives of children and give them the tools they need to build a brighter future.
