CLOTHES<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Donated clothes were always needed with hundreds of children to dress. In the infants section the Mamas were constantly washing, drying & folding to cope with the daily turnover of clothing. Younger children didn\u2019t have their \u2018own\u2019 clothes and were dressed in what came to hand.<\/p>\n

Storage was a problem and dormitory rooms would be stashed with carboard boxes and old suitcases as wardrobes. Shoes for the youngest children were pot luck from buckets & often mismatched.<\/p>\n

As children got older, possession of their own clothes & shoes became more possible & important, though sharing occurred a lot. Really nice clothing was kept back by the orphanage and only given out for special occasions & Sunday church. Boys would hang on to their donated football shirts for as long as possible.<\/p>\n

Owning clothes meant washing and drying them yourself and for children growing up with no other possessions in life they were a source of pride too.<\/p>\n<\/div>
