Young girl working at a sewing machine in an orphanage workshop in Syra, Greece. The orphans sewed clothing and linens for the orphanage and for sale in the community. All profits went toward the orphanage.

This photograph also appeared in a Near East Relief promotional booklet called "The Diversified Program of Near East Relief" which showed the various phases of programs to help prepare the orphans for a self-supporting life.
