EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to August 1969 in Pontypridd, Wales. The image captures a heartwarming scene at the Steinberg factory where mothers diligently work to support their families. To ensure their presence during school holidays and prevent absenteeism, the company has taken an extraordinary step by establishing a nursery creche for their children. The photograph reveals a group of 25 boys and girls engrossed in a needlework lesson within the safe confines of Hawthorn County Secondary School. Trained supervisors have been recruited and generously paid by the firm to oversee these young minds as they learn embroidery and sewing techniques. This initiative not only showcases the company's commitment towards its employees but also highlights their understanding of the challenges faced by working mothers. By providing childcare facilities, they alleviate concerns about leaving children unattended or missing valuable work hours. The atmosphere is filled with enthusiasm as both boys and girls eagerly participate in this unique educational opportunity. Their tiny hands meticulously maneuver needles through fabrics, creating beautiful patterns under the guidance of dedicated teachers. This snapshot encapsulates an era when industry thrived amidst textile production while simultaneously nurturing future generations. It serves as a reminder that progress can be achieved hand-in-hand with compassion and investment in education – values that continue to shape our society today.
