During a crowded day, she snatches a few minutes to acknowledge an offer by a country family of a vacation on their farm for one of the children under the Society’s care. Offers of this kind are more than welcome. And for the child it’s something to look forward to, and something he’ll never forget.– From the narration
All that is possible is done to keep them cheerful and to give them an education as good as any they could get outside.– Narration, on disabled people living temporarily at Silverstream Hospital
