The atmosphere is filled with both reverence and resilience as they clutch their worn prayer books tightly while singing hymns together. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the harsh realities faced by abandoned children during this period marked by poverty and social inequality.

Through this evocative image captured over a century ago, we are invited to reflect upon themes of faith, resilience, and compassion towards those who have been cast aside by society. It stands as a testament to our shared responsibility to protect and nurture every child's right to love and
