EDITORS COMMENTS
A Promising New Beginning: A Glimpse into the Past of Barnardo's Children's Homes in Canada (circa 1914) This evocative photograph captures the exterior of a charming, red-brick house nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of Canada. This was once a home where a child who had been cared for at one of Barnardo's Children's Homes in England began a new life in the late 19th century. Barnardo's, a renowned children's charity based in the United Kingdom, began sending children to Canada in 1872. The organization, founded by Dr. Thomas Barnardo, aimed to provide care, housing, and education to children in need, many of whom were orphaned or abandoned. The emigration program was an extension of this mission, offering children the opportunity to start anew in a land of promise and opportunity. As you gaze upon this image, imagine the excitement and anticipation felt by the children as they embarked on their journey across the Atlantic. The promise of a fresh start, a loving home, and a chance to build a better future was a beacon of hope for many. The children were placed with Canadian families or in Barnardo's own homes, where they were provided with food, shelter, education, and a loving environment. The experience was transformative, with many children going on to lead successful and fulfilling lives. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history of Barnardo's Children's Homes and the thousands of lives that have been touched by their mission. The legacy of this organization continues to inspire and make a difference in the lives of children and young people around the world today.
