Children wearing jumpers, India, ca. 1925

Black and white lantern slide showing a group of girls from a Regions Beyond Missionary Union orphanage or school in Bihar. Some girls wear wool jumpers which have been donated by friends of the mission. The caption to this slide reads: "Wearing W[oollen] jumpers made by Prairie friends." The jumpers may have been sent by the Prairie Mission, a historic African-American mission school in Prairie county, Alabama, founded by the United Presbyterian Church of North America.This slide comes from a collection created by missionaries from Regions Beyond Missionary Union, an interdenominational Protestant evangelical mission working in northeast India (Bihar and Orissa) and Nepal.
