THE Interesting photographs on this page show the
young Chinese children from the North who are. at present, in the Colony under the care of the Hongkong Branch of the National Association for the Caro of War Orphans. Recently, these refugee children were enter- tained by Miss Irene Ho Tung, Director of the branch, and later, they visited Mr. and Mrs. Ho Kom-long and their daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ho Sal-wah, at Ho Cheng. in Mouni Davia.
These orphants arrived in the Colony on September 9, having left Hankow on November 3 and stopped over In Canton for half a day. The children, of whom there aro 63 girls, were accompanied by ten Chinese boy scouts and four lady teachers from the parent association in Hankow. The Canton Branch of the Association also sent another scout and a few workers to accompany the party. After their arrival, they handed the orphans over to the twenty ladies from the Hongkong Association who met them at the railway station.
The National Association for the Care of War Orphans was started in Hankow in March of this year, A scheme was worked out whereby orphanages would be established throughout China with about 500 children 11 volt. As its name indicates, the main purpose of the organization is to care for the unfortunate children who have become orphaned by the present Sino-Japanese hostilities.
The Associations aim to care for 20,000 children under the age of twelve. The children of soldiers and desiltute refugees are given first preference, The maintenance of cach child is $5 (National Currency) per month.
The members of the organisation in Hongkong have secured a temporary loan of a Chinese charity hospital in Un Long, New Territories, to house the children. They have also been given the loan of the Old Government Civil Hospital "B" Block, through the kind co-operation of the Hongkong
· Government and of the Refugee Com- mlitee of the Tung Wah Hospital.
Already over 300 children are in residence at these homes. The Asso- elation has also taken over a number of destitute children, refugees from the North, who were at the Tung Wab Hospital Refugee Camp.
Mr. Aw Boon-haw visited the child- ren one day recently and decided to build them a permanent home. Ic also donated a suit of clothing for each child which has now become their uniform. As a rule they wear their old clothes of varying shapes and Aizra contributed by well-wishers
