Aftermath of Christmas Party

This work grew out of the interest aroused -in their own hearts by a Christmas party given by the Young Women's Service Group, for refugee children. As so often occurs, doing a small bit of work caused the very lively desire to do more, and to do work of more permanent value, Hence the organization, and subdivision of the most excellent work now being done. The Group has five divisions.

The first division sorts and separates new and old clothing donated to them. When this clothing is ready for distribution it is taken to the camps which have sent in requests for clothing, The second division leads recreation in various camps, thus filling a ysyy real though less obvious need.

The third division makes clothing.

The fourth division consists of eighteen girls, who take it in turn, three or four ata time, to prepare milk and feed the babies.

The fifth division takes the babies fo clinics where they are bathed, weighed and otherwise cared for.

"he work began with only a few under-nourished babies, but is expanding literally daily.

"Ike report of this Young Women's Service Group, under date of May 27th speaks for itself, and hardly needs amplification.
