EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of departure for 200 boys and girls from Dr. Barnardo's Home at Riverside Station in Liverpool, England, as they embarked on their journey to Canada in 1903. Dr. Barnardo's Homes, a leading British children's charity founded by Thomas Barnardo in 1867, had been providing shelter, education, and employment opportunities for orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children for decades. In an effort to provide a better future for these children, Dr. Barnardo initiated a program to send them to Canada, where they could be offered farmsteads and apprenticeships. The children in this photograph, dressed in their best clothes and carrying their belongings, are filled with a mix of excitement and trepidation as they bid farewell to their loved ones and set off on their new adventure. The scene at the station is bustling with activity, with well-wishers and officials looking on. The boys and girls, aged between seven and fifteen, were accompanied by a group of Barnardo's staff and volunteers, who would travel with them to ensure their safe passage. Canada welcomed these children with open arms, and they were soon put to work on farms and in various trades, learning valuable skills that would help them build a better life for themselves. The success of the program was such that one in eleven Canadians today can trace their ancestors back to Barnardo's. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience of these children, who left behind their homeland in search of a brighter future. The date of this photograph is December 16, 1903, and it is an invaluable historical document that sheds light on the important work of Dr. Barnardo's Homes and the impact it had on the lives of countless children.
