EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph, a group of Serbian children reside at the Faversham branch of the National Children's Home (NCH) in Britain during the aftermath of World War I, around 1918. The image captures the essence of the welfare and social care services provided by the NCH to these refugee children who had been displaced from their homes due to the devastating war. The Serbian children, dressed in simple clothing and huddled together, appear to be seeking comfort and solace from one another in the unfamiliar surroundings of the institution. Their expressions convey a sense of vulnerability and resilience, reflecting the challenges they faced during this turbulent period in history. The NCH, a leading children's charity in Britain, played a crucial role in providing care and support to vulnerable children during times of crisis. In the aftermath of World War I, the organization took in thousands of refugee children from various European countries, including Serbia, who had been displaced due to the conflict. The Faversham branch of the NCH, located in the picturesque town of Faversham in Kent, provided a safe and nurturing environment for these children. They were given food, shelter, education, and emotional support to help them recover from the trauma of war and rebuild their lives. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the vital role that children's charities and welfare services play in providing care and support to vulnerable children, particularly during times of crisis and conflict. It also highlights the importance of unity and community, as these children found solace and strength in one another during their time at the NCH.
