EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a moment of pure joy and innocence from the past, as girls from The Haven Salvation Army Home in Ramsgate, Kent, enjoy a day at the beach in circa 1910. The girls, dressed in their simple yet charming outfits, are engrossed in playtime activities, using hoops and spades to create fun and games on the sandy shore. The Haven, established by The Salvation Army, was a children's home that provided refuge and care for orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the lives of these young girls, who, despite their hardships, were able to find happiness and relaxation at the seaside. The beach, with its vast expanse of water and sand, served as a welcome respite from the daily struggles they faced. The girls' laughter and playful energy are palpable, as they create memories that would last a lifetime. The Salvation Army, founded in 1865 by William and Catherine Booth, has a rich history of providing social, emotional, and spiritual support to those in need. The Haven in Ramsgate was just one of many homes and institutions established by the organization to help children and families in distress. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of care, compassion, and the power of play in the lives of children, especially those who have faced adversity. The image is a precious piece of historical documentation, offering a glimpse into the past and shedding light on the work of The Salvation Army in caring for children in need. It is a testament to the resilience and strength of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity.
