Title: Swiss holiday for orphans.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-29757 SWISS HOLIDAY FOR ORPHANS GENEVA -- A holiday in Switzerland for Algerian orphans whose lives were blighted by bitter civil strife in their native land. Sixty Moslem children -- aged 6 to 14 -- were given a month’s holiday by Protestant churches of the world. U.S. denominations participated through Church World Service, overseas aid agency of the National Council of Churches. At top left, the children are all smiles on their arrival at Geneva’s airport. At top right, they find Swiss sunshine and Swiss Protestants a happy combination in making them feel at home abroad. The children stayed at a refurbished hotel that had been abandoned; a congregation at Corseaux, near Lake Leman, suggested the holiday and rehabilitated the hotel. HEKS, Swiss Protestant inter-church agency, provided the furnishings. At lower left, they enjoy a break for lunch and a briefing by their director. The children enjoyed rides on the electric train to Vevey and a series of automobile excursions. At lower right, an Algerian orphan, touched by the wonder of it all, contemplates a new world opening up before his eyes on the Swiss holiday. His vacation, and that of the others, was made possible through the cooperation of the Christian Committee for Service in Algeria, Church World Service, the World Council of Churches, and other agencies.
