“I’m not alone in this journey”

[flamingredanon]

This is the anon from the “Henry is a different clan leader AU” In truth: the original members that remained in the clan are actually orphans that Henry made friends with.

Henry had always felt a fondness with the other members. The original group were all from the same orphanage, but a fire brought it down and no one came for the children. So Henry had to step up and help everyone out.

Henry hates the Government extra here because they knew of the situation and did nothing because of something involving the state of the business with the orphanage.

Reginald on the other hand, once he finds out about Henry's group and their origins, sets up an alliance with them and sets them up with a brand new shelter and some of the older Toppats come by to check up on everything.

Ellie and Right also swing by from time to time to hang with Henry and get to know his group better.

The Foundling Hospital Tokens | The Foundling Museum, London

The Foundling Museum is home to a unique collection of tokens, left by mothers with their babies at London's Foundling Hospital. Visit today to learn more

...mothers also left an object unique to them – a token – as a means of identification. These everyday items range from found objects such as coins, medals and jewellery, to personalised items created for this purpose such as poems, needlework and inscribed medallions. Pennies are some of the most common tokens and these were frequently personalised with engravings, inscriptions and punctures to ensure they were not mistaken for another’s. Once the admission information was taken the billet was folded up and sealed with the token inside, never to be opened unless a claim was made, meaning these little fragments of maternal hope were never seen by the children. At some point in the mid-nineteenth century the billets were opened and some of the more interesting tokens were put on display in the Hospital however, no one thought to make a note of which tokens belonged to which baby, so the majority of the tokens are themselves orphans.

Good People Doing Good Things -- Mama Rosie

I don’t make it a habit to redux my ‘good people’ posts often, but every now and then I do, for one reason or another.  Yesterday, our electricity was out all day and by the time it was restored around 6:00 p.m., I had much catching up to do in many areas — laundry, kitchen cleaning, news/news/news, blogging, etc.  Add to that my mind being somewhat discombobulated from trying to read in the dark…

Supreme Court Orders Survey of Orphaned Children Denied Education

The Supreme Court of India has directed all state governments to conduct a comprehensive survey of orphaned children who have been denied education under the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009. The directive aims to address systemic gaps and ensure access to education for vulnerable children across the country.

A bench comprising Justices B V Nagarathna and K V Viswanathan issued the order during a hearing on Wednesday, stressing the need for immediate action to identify and support such children. The bench also emphasized that while surveys and data collection are underway, simultaneous efforts must be made to ensure deserving children are admitted to neighbourhood schools without further delay.

Additionally, the court requested the Centre to consider incorporating data on orphaned children in the upcoming 2027 national census. Such inclusion would enable the government to frame better policies and extend necessary benefits to a group often overlooked in national education planning.

The move is seen as a significant step toward making education more inclusive and ensuring the RTE Act fulfills its promise for all children, regardless of their socio-economic background.
